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
