Bugibba restaurants in St Anthony Street, the square and the surrounding area are being served with eviction orders by Lands Department enforcement officials accompanied by the police and Malta Tourism Authority officials giving them 24 hours to regularise their position.

The restaurants are encroaching with tables and chairs on public land without the required permits. A spokesman for the department said that these same restaurants were served with an enforcement notice, which they failed to obey, on June 12.

Should they fail to comply with the eviction order, their wares on public land will be forcibly removed once the 24 hour notice expires.
