Lands Department employees are removing 27 privately-owned yellow telephone booths along the Bugibba-Qawra seafront after it was established that they were occupying public land without a permit.

The phone booths were installed several years ago and the department had issued a notice to the owners requesting their removal.

Employees from the Works Department helped in the operation.

A contractor is to reinstate the pavements in the coming days.
