The Qala council has called on Mepa to say what steps it will be taking following the report by its audit-officer on the Qala ridge development.

In a letter, a copy of which was also sent to Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, the council said that the auditor’s report reinforced its view that development would have a negative impact on the environment and on one of the most beautiful views on the island.

The council also called for talks on the Qala local plan, parts of which were changed without the council being informed.

It insisted that Mepa should not hide behind the excuse that an appeal into the controversial building permit was pending.
