Żminijietna – Voice of the Left has joined other voices from the environmental sector in expressing concern for the development proposal of an industrial park to replace the existing quarry in Wied Inċita.

Żminijietna said that “the area in question should be rehabilitated and renovated into an ecological park.  The Area's surrounding habitat is primarily a rocky area, garigue rich in soil and vegetation, surrounded by agricultural fields”.

“Thus Żminijietna appeals the Planning Authority, and the Minister in charge of the Environment to safeguard the area from further developments and instead convert the whole region into a natural and ecological park. This will enhance the wellbeing of families living in that region, health, care for the environment and community cohesion.”

The Democratic Party expressed its full support by Zminijietna's proposal to turn Wied Incita into an Ecological park to be enjoyed by Maltese and Gozitans alike. 

“By restoring and returning Wied Incita back to the people this government would be mitigating the environmental damage inflicted both by the previous administration and by the current administration's poor environmental policies,” the party said.
