The committee members of Wirt San Ġwann were completely bewildered and utterly staggered by the unprecedented barrage of applications for new developments in Wied Għomor as explained in the article ‘Valley under siege due to barrage of developments’ (March 15).

We join the Swieqi and San Ġwann councils in criticising the Planning Authority for giving in to people who want to get richer at the expense of our localities. After years of overdevelopment, we hardly have any open spaces left if this green lung between our two towns is eventually taken over. The new controversial policy in 2014 is a disservice to one and all. Besides, the valley is a scheduled area of ecological and scientific importance, if anybody cares.

In the name of residents, we appeal to the PA to reject all these applications and help us preserve Wied Għomor at all costs.
