Officials from the Lands Department this evening confiscated street furniture including tables and chairs belonging to a restaurant in Marsaxlokk which had ignored warnings not to exceed the limitations of its encroachment permit.
The officials also served formal notices to other restaurants at Xatt is-Sajjieda warning them to respect their permit conditions about placing tables and chairs outside.
The department has over the past few weeks carried out such law enforcement in Sliema, Marsalforn, Xlendi and Marsascala, among other localities.
