Faceworks Ltd will refrain from undertaking excavation and demolition works in tourist-friendly areas around Malta throughout summer. This is due to Mepa regulations issued in 2014, which ban this form of labour between June 15 and September 30 in specific areas.

Localities affected will include some roads in Birżebbuġa, Gżira, Birgu, Marsascala, Marsaxlokk, Mellieħa, Sliema, St Julians and St Paul’s Bay. Excavation and demolition works are also prohibited in almost all areas of Senglea and Valletta, all streets of Mdina, and all of Ta’ Qali Crafts Village, Wied iż-Żurrieq and Comino. Gozo is no exception, with a ban on works on most roads in Marsalforn, some in Mġarr, San Lawrenz, Victoria, Xagħra and Xlendi and all of Ramla l-Ħamra..

Mepa CEO Johann Buttiġieġ explained how a construction site brought with it a number of inconveniences for both the tourism industry and a great number of Maltese residents who move to their summer residence. This initiative is one of the ways through which the planning authority is attempting to mitigate the nuisance such works may cause.
