The rape of Bidnija
One of the last small pretty villages is being destroyed by massive construction.
No less than three cranes are busy working at ruining Bidnija.
I have personally bought land in order to help preserve our village but there is very little backing from the institutions that should be safeguarding our heritage.
How can we build high-rise buildings and at the same time destroy our villages? It should be one or the other.
If we are going high, then urban sprawl should not be allowed.
I would also like to know if these builders have the necessary permits. Should not the Planning Authority see what is happening in Bidnija which after all is outside the development zone? Maurice F. Mizzi Bidnija
