I wholeheartedly support Mario de Marco's plans for restoring the gem guarding our beautiful city of Valletta. However, I cannot help feeling some suspicion, is this latest statement, yet another plan that will never come to fruition in our lifetime! The powers that be seem to specialise in creating euphoria. One example is the "Grand Harbour Project" now a good year on. Has anything started to happen?

I do hope that on this occasion we the citizens of one of the most historical islands in the world are not just treated to yet another large white marquee in the centre of Valletta depicting the plans. I know that in Malta we have reached a very high standard with this type of road show, but please let the action start now on site at Fort St Elmo.

What a wonderful legacy it would be for Dr de Marco if he carried out his plans. I know that funding is always a barrier but St Elmo would be a big investment on the past for our future.
