The processing of applications for the building of further blocks at Tigné must be stopped immediately to avoid further cramming.

Foreign and local residents are alarmed at the lack of adherence to what was initially spelled out.

Building further blocks will have a disastrous effect. The Sliema council and residents' association need to follow Mepa's processing of these applications.

Mepa needs guidelines on Tigné, if not a clear-cut policy, which would be more than welcome by the people.

For example, let us preserve the most open sea views from a public square. It seems that the allowable proportion of built-up area to open spaces has already been reached in Tigné, which was always meant to be the lung of overbuilt Sliema.
