The parliamentary secretary for land, Jason Azzopardi, will today hold a meeting with the Safari Camping Club, which represents former Bahar ic-Caghaq campers, who had asked the government to designate an area for an official camping site after the illegal campsite was cleared in October last year.

The squatters had found eviction notices posted to their caravan doors, and were given 48 hours to move from the site.

Although some of the people who used to occupy the site, mainly in the summer, had mobile caravans, others had built fixed structures.

The site had been occupied for about 20 years, and last September, there were about 110 structures, mobile or otherwise.

Some of the squatters had removed their own caravans, while the authorities demolished the brick rooms and removed the remaining mobile homes.
