A Planning Authority report which recommends that an application to turn a disused quarry in Attard into an industrial area is a step in the right direction, Alternattiva Demokratika said today.
Earlier this week, the PA indicated that plans to build warehouses, shops and other buildings in Attard's Wied Incita should be blocked. The report listed concerns of a technical, environmental and planning nature.
"It is encouraging that the PA is stating that this development is not compatible with a rural area and valley," said Attard AD councillor Ralph Cassar, who added that he would continue to push for the quarry to be rehabilitated.
AD deputy chairperson Carmel Cacopardo said that the party's work on behalf of Attard residents was bearing fruit.
