The Fgura mayor yesterday appealed to the authorities to tackle the construction debris being dumped at Wied Blandun, which he said was damaging the environment and creating clouds of dust.

Byron Camilleri said the construction waste was being produced by the Smart City project.

The dumping, he said, was detrimental to trees and flora in the valley and dust was affecting several residents’ homes.

He said the council had lodged a complaint with the Malta Environment and Plann-ing Authority on August 27 but the situation had not improved.
