A building company has asked the courts to issue an order to stop the Environment Landscapes Consortium from taking care of a roundabout in Naxxar.

Vassallo Builders Group yesterday applied for a warrant of prohibitory injunction against the consortium, which is working on embellishing the roundabout opposite Kinds showroom.

The construction company said it was assigned responsibility for the roundabout by the Ministry of Agriculture in 1988, and has maintained and decorated it since then.

The consortium replied that the 1988 agreement had expired in 2002 and the government had handed over the duties of embellishing it to them. It is one of 15 roundabouts around Malta within its jurisdiction.

Lawyer Aldo Vella appeared for Vassallo Builders, while lawyer Beppe Fenech Adami appeared for the consortium.
