Moviment Graffitti said Friday it has taken note of a judgment rejecting a request for a retrial of the objection filed by NGOs against db Group’s St. George’s Bay project at the former ITS site, saying it is considering further avenues to defend the wellbeing of residents and the residential amenity of the locality.

This development will result in a monstrous impact blocking out sunlight and creating traffic havoc, the NGO said in a statement.

“We highlight the fact that both the Tribunal and the Court of Appeal have ruled that no business or activity may operate from the site until Transport Malta certifies that the infrastructure is adequate to sustain such an intensive development. The Court of Appeal said that there will be consequences if this is not provided,” the NGO said.

“We are holding Transport Malta to this, although we do not have any faith in the authorities - the same authorities which have not put a stop to the tipper trucks are being parked facing the wrong way, on pavements, on double yellow lines, bus stops and “at every corner” of Pembroke at all times of the day. These are the same authorities which have not put a stop to the DB takeover of a public square in Mellieħa. These are the same authorities which are allowing the same company take over a beach in Qawra. The authorities refuse to enforce any conditions and do not protect residents or the public.

"We will hold these authorities to account - come what may,” the NGO said.
