Polidano Group said today it it well on the way to clearing the area next to the Poligas plant in Hal Farrug.

The site was subject to a direct action by Mepa in 2013 when it was sealed off with concrete blocks.

Tons of scrap material have been removed from an area covering over 13,000 sqm. Landscaping works have started.  

Last week Polidano also started dismantling the tower at the Animal Park as instructed by Mepa.

"Considering the surroundings of the tower this cannot be simply demolished, but needs to be dismantled, however works are picking up momentum," the group said.

All works are being carried out under Planning Authority officials supervision.
