I know at least one person in my family who is having to move out of his formerly perfectly quiet street in Swieqi. Now he is surrounded on all sides by huge, high-rise, five-storey apartment blocks, and is being squeezed in at the back of his house.
His only sane option has been to move out of Swieqi to a quieter and more peaceful area, where he can park his car with less hassle.
Developers will ruin Swieqi, after Sliema, St Julian’s, Paceville and St George’s Bay. Let’s hope that Pembroke will escape this property speculation unscathed. One never knows what developers will cook up next.
