Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar (FAA), the Ramblers’ Association of Malta and Friends of the Earth – the NGOs involved in the Ta’ Ħaġrat case who welcomed the news that the government is considering action to block the construction of a two-storey building in the Ta’ Ħaġrat buffer zone – are urging political leaders move from words to action to protect Malta’s unique heritage sites.

The NGOs said the heritage authorities and the Mgarr council should realise that the shabby entrance to the Ta’ Ħaġrat Temples was disgracefully unworthy of a Unesco World Heritage Site. The building would further detract from the integrity of this World Heritage Site, as well as serving as a precedent leading to similar treatment in other buffer zones.
