Ghadira bay government proposals: has the general public been asked for an opinion?

Sunday, 1 July 2018, 08:22 Last update: about 9 years ago

The beauty of Ghadira bay is going to be lost if it is turned into an artificial bay similar to Pretty Bay Birzebbuga. Children used to play in the shallow parts of Ghadira and laugh as the water changes from shallow to a bit deeper and then shallow again. Now it will be straight into deep water nearly. What are we going to leave for our children? A bay for tourists or a bay in which children can swim safely in shallow water? I am very disappointed that we, the general public, are not being responsible for future generations but only considering how to meet the needs of foreigners. What a sad situation and how irresponsible and egoistic we are being. In addition, has the general public been asked for an opinion on such a project on whether it approves it or not?
