2024-10-26 10:30 - 11:30 (Europe/Malta) | St. George’s Bay, WFGP+GW2, San Ġiljan, Malta
PEOPLE OVER DEVELOPERS – STOP THE VILLA ROSA MONSTROSITY!
Things are going from bad to worse at an alarming rate. That is why we are inviting you to join us on Saturday 26th October at 10.30am at St George’s Bay, St Julian’s, for a Press Conference against the monster development that will tower over Villa Rosa.
Spread the word!
Changing the Local Plans to accommodate Anton Camilleri “Tal-Franċiż”, at the expense of the Maltese people, especially residents, is totally unacceptable.
For this Press Conference we will be inviting speakers from the Local Councils of Pembroke, St Julian’s and Swieqi.
The struggle continues.

Fort Chambray: The Truth we Cannot Demolish
2025-02-08 10:30 - 12:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Is-saga tal-Forti Chambray, li ilha sejra għal aktar minn 30 sena, dejjem kienet ikkaratterizzata minn għadd ta’ kontroversji u deċiżjonijiet dubjużi.
Fit-12 ta’ Diċembru li għadda, il-PA approvat it-tkissir tal-Barracks tal-Ingliżi fil-Forti Chambray u l-iżvilupp tal-Forti f’kumpless mostruż ta’ appartamenti, aparthotel u stabbilimenti kummerċjali.
Il-miżinformazzjoni madwar dan il-proġett hija waħda kbira. Il-poplu għandu dritt ikun jaf il-verità biex ikun kapaċi jifforma opinjoni infurmata.
Pereżempju, huwa minnu li l-poplu se jkun jista’ jaċċessa l-Forti Chambray wara li dan jiġi żviluppat? Min se jkun qed iħallas għar-restawr tal-Forti Chambray, il-Gvern jew l-iżviluppaturi? Il-pedamenti tal-Forti Chambray, li huwa mibni fuq għolja tat-tafal, huma sodi biżżejjed biex jifilħu dan l-iżvilupp? U l-Barracks tal-Ingliżi, x’se jiġri minnhom?
Ingħaqdu magħna nhar is-Sibt 8 ta’ Frar fl-10.30am għal taħdita pubblika fejn se nkunu qed inwieġbu dawn il-mistoqsijiet u aktar.
******
The 30-year Fort Chambray saga has always been characterised by controversy and questionable decisions.
On 12 December 2024, the PA approved the demolition of the British Barracks and the development of Fort Chambray into a monstrous complex of apartments, an aparthotel and commercial establishments.
The misinformation that surrounds this project is robbing people of their right to know the truth. The public has the right to know the facts about the project to be able to form an informed opinion.
For instance, will the public be able to access Fort Chambray once it is developed? Who will be financially responsible for the Fort’s restoration, the Government or the developers? Are the Fort’s clay foundations stable enough for such a massive development? What will become of the British Barracks?
Join us on Saturday 8 February at 10.30am for a public talk where we will be answering these questions and more.

Manoel Island: Post Għalina - Campaign Launch
2025-03-29 10:00 - 12:00 | Manoel Island, WG32+8J2, Gżira, Malta
Manoel Island can be a place for all of us to enjoy. It is possible – but we only have a short window of opportunity to act.
The concession between the Maltese Parliament and MIDI to develop Manoel Island into a residential and commercial hub is currently being renegotiated. This campaign aims to put the issue of Manoel Island back on the national agenda. We stand at a crossroads, a unique point in time where the future of Manoel Island is being questioned. Will it be used for commercial development, turned into luxury residences, a hotel, a casino or can it become a landmark park for all to enjoy in the most urbanised part of Malta?
Do you want to see more accessible public spaces in Malta? Join us for the launch of this campaign on Saturday 29th March at 10am!

Manoel Island jista’ jkun post li ngawduh kollha kemm aħna. Din mhijiex xi ħaġa impossibbli — iżda għandna biss tieqa żgħira ta’ opportunità u rridu naġixxu malajr.
Il-konċessjoni bejn il-Parlament Malti u l-MIDI biex Manoel Island tiġi żviluppata f’binjiet residenzjali u kummerċjali bħalissa qed tiġi nnegozjata mill-ġdid. L-għan ta’ din il-kampanja, għalhekk, huwa li nerġgħu nitfgħu lil Manoel Island fuq l-aġenda nazzjonali. Ninsabu f’salib it-toroq, f’mument uniku fejn il-futur ta’ Manoel Island qed jerġa’ jinfetaħ għal possibbiltajiet oħra. Se tintuża għal żvilupp kummerċjali u narawha tinbidel f’residenzi lussużi, lukanda, u każinò? Jew tista’ ssir park nazzjonali għal kulħadd li jagħti nifs ġdid fl-aktar żona urbanizzata ta’ Malta?
Tixtieq tara aktar spazji pubbliċi aċċessibbli f’Malta? Mela ejja ngħaqad magħna s-Sibt 29 ta’ Marzu fl-10am għat-tnedija ta’ din il-kampanja!

The ‘Manoel Island Post Għalina’ Campaign seeks to bring the Manoel Island issue back to light at a time when the concession between the Maltese Parliament and MIDI is being renegotiated. We’re proposing a renegotiation that would turn Manoel Island into a national park instead of private apartments. This event is to raise funds for that campaign, which, of course, has its costs. The money raised during this event will go directly back into the campaign, and all musicians and event organisers involved are volunteers. For more information on the campaign itself, visit https://www.manoelislandcampaign.com.
Eyes to Argus, Karmaġenn (solo) and Marie Claire are well-known and loved by the local alternative music scene and have performed at Storeroom in the past. They’ve lovingly agreed to play as a contribution to the campaign.

X'qed jigri f'Villa Rosa? Laqgħa ta' informazzjoni għar-residenti
2025-09-19 18:00 - 20:00 | BMX Warehouse, WFJC+MJ, Pembroke, Malta
It-tibdil propost fil-Pjan Lokali għas-sit ta’ Villa Rosa se jkollu impat enormi fuq il-lokalitajiet ta’ Pembroke, is-Swieqi, u San Ġiljan.
Skont il-pjan rivedut propost, jistgħu jitilgħu binjiet li jaslu sa 39 sular, flimkien ma’ żewġ torrijiet addizzjonali ta’ 22 sular li se jidfnu għalkollox il-Bajja ta’ San Ġorġ u jordmu lir-residenti tal-madwar. L-impronta tal-iżvilupp se tikber għal madwar 146,500 metru kwadru – intensifikazzjoni estrema li se tħalli impatt serju fuq il-komunitajiet fil-qrib u l-infrastruttura pubblika.
Qed inħeġġu lir-residenti ta’ dawn il-lokalitajiet biex jattendu laqgħa pubblika fejn ser nispjegaw x’qed jiġri fil-kwistjoni ta’ Villa Rosa, x’ħa jkunu l-impatti tat-tibdil fil-Pjan Lokali, u x’nistgħu nagħmlu dwarhom.

What’s happening at Villa Rosa? Information meeting for residents
The proposed changes to the Local Plan for the Villa Rosa site will have a huge impact on the localities of Pembroke, Swieqi, and St Julian’s.
According to the revised plan, buildings of up to 39 storeys could rise, alongside two additional towers of 22 storeys, which would completely bury St George’s Bay and suffocate nearby residents. The development footprint would expand to around 146,500 square metres — an extreme intensification with a devastating impact on nearby communities and public infrastructure.
We are urging the residents of these localities to attend a public meeting where we will explain what is happening regarding Villa Rosa, what the impacts of the changes to the Local Plan will be, and what we can do about them.

Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa! - KONFERENZA STAMPA
2025-09-29 18:00 - 19:30 | Planning Authority, St Francis Ravelin, Floriana, Malta
Nhar it-Tnejn, 29 ta’ Settembru fis-6pm, se niltaqgħu quddiem l-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar sabiex nispjegaw ir-raġunijiet għaliex qed insejħu għal protesta nazzjonali nhar is-Sibt 4 ta’ Ottubru, u t-talbiet urġenti tagħna quddiem sitwazzjoni gravi ħafna.
F’Lulju li għadda, il-Gvern ippreżenta żewġ liġijiet li se jneħħu s-salvagwardji kollha li għandna fil-qasam tal-ippjanar. Wara ftit ġimgħat, ġiet ukoll ippubblikata l-proposta ta’ tliet avviżi legali li se jagħtu amnestija lil kull tip ta’ illegalità madwar Malta u Għawdex, mingħajr lanqas biss limitu fuq daqs, skop jew post.
Minkejja li l-poplu rnexxielu jwaqqaf lill-Gvern milli jgħaddi dawn il-liġijiet inkiss inkiss f’nofs is-sajf, dawn għadhom hemm, u nafu li l-Gvern se jipprova jsib l-ewwel opportunità biex jgħaddihom.
Għalhekk, qed inħeġġukom tattendu għall-Konferenza Stampa ta’ nhar it-Tnejn fejn se nuru kemm it-theddida għalina, għal pajjiżna, u għal uliedna hija kbira u teħtieġ ir-reżistenza kollettiva tal-poplu biex flimkien inwaqqfu dan il-kolp ta’ stat mill-iżviluppaturi.

On Monday, 29th September at 6pm, we will gather in front of the Planning Authority to explain the reasons why we are calling the national protest on Saturday, 4th October, and to present our urgent demands in the face of a very serious situation.
Last July, the Government presented two laws that would remove all safeguards in the planning sector. A few weeks later, a proposal for three legal notices was also published, which would grant amnesty to all forms of illegalities across Malta and Gozo, without any limits on size, type, or location.
Although the people managed to stop the Government from passing these laws by stealth in the middle of summer, they are still on the table, and we know that the Government will try to seize the first opportunity to pass them.
This is why we are urging you to attend Monday’s press conference, where we will show just how great the threat is – to us, to our country, and to our children – and how it demands the collective resistance of the people to stop this developers’ coup from being carried out.
Spread the word.
Ġustizzja għal Artna: Kill the Bills!

Ġustizzja għal Artna: Iritrawhom Issa! - PROTESTA NAZZJONALI
2025-10-04 10:00 - 13:00 | Law Courts, VGX6+9RQ, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
A national protest, Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa!, is being called for Saturday 4th October at 10am in response to the total assault on our environment and quality of life being pushed through under the guise of a planning “reform”.
The need for action is urgent and dire. Government is intent on forcing through two planning bills and three legal notices that will dismantle existing safeguards, place serious obstacles to effective public appeals, and regularise all kinds of illegalities across the country.
If this legal package is approved, Malta and Gozo will be ruled entirely by the wishes of developers, while the common people will be left under siege from harmful development permitted without even today’s minimal regulatory controls and scrutiny.
This is a grave threat to our country, and only the people’s resistance can fend it off.
Our demands are:

The immediate withdrawal of the draft bills and legal notices. Consultation cannot take place on legislation that is fundamentally flawed, malicious in intent, and beyond repair.
The urgent introduction of a measure suspending works on developments approved by the Planning Authority while an appeal is ongoing, through an amendment to existing law.
The publication of a White Paper to launch a genuine consultation on the broader planning reforms Malta truly needs.

People will gather at the Law Courts at 10am and march to Castille, where speeches will take place.
The national protest is the first action announced as part of the Ġustizzja għal Artna campaign launched last week. Groups across Malta and Gozo, both formal and informal, are invited to join the protest and the campaign by emailing info@gustizzjartna.org.
More information about the campaign and its demands can be found at www.gustizzjartna.org.

Se ssir protesta nazzjonali, Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa!, nhar is-Sibt 4 ta’ Ottubru fl-10am bħala reazzjoni għall-attakk totali fuq l-ambjent u l-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħna, li qed jiġi ppreżentat bħala taparsi “riforma” tal-ippjanar.
Il-ħtieġa għall-azzjoni hija urġenti u serja. Il-Gvern jinsab determinat li jmexxi ’l quddiem żewġ abbozzi ta’ liġi dwar l-ippjanar, u tliet avviżi legali, li se jeqirdu l-protezzjonijiet eżistenti, joħolqu ostakli serji għall-appelli effettivi mill-pubbliku, u jirregolarizzaw kull tip ta’ illegalitajiet madwar il-pajjiż.
Jekk dan il-pakkett legali jiġi approvat, Malta u Għawdex se jkunu mmexxija kompletament mir-rieda tal-iżviluppaturi, filwaqt li n-nies komuni jispiċċaw taħt assedju minn żvilupp ta’ ħsara li se jkun permess saħansitra mingħajr il-kontroll u l-iskrutinju minimu li jeżisti llum.
Din hija theddida gravi għal pajjiżna, u hija biss ir-reżistenza tal-poplu li tista’ twaqqafha.
It-talbiet tagħna huma:

L-irtirar immedjat tal-abbozzi ta’ liġi u l-avviżi legali. Ma tistax issir konsultazzjoni dwar leġiżlazzjoni li hija fundamentalment difettuża, malizzjuża fl-intenzjoni tagħha, u li ma tistax tissewwa.
L-introduzzjoni urġenti ta’ miżura li tissospendi x-xogħlijiet ta’ żviluppi approvati mill-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar waqt li jkun għaddej appell, permezz ta’ emenda għal-liġi eżistenti.
Il-pubblikazzjoni ta’ White Paper biex titnieda konsultazzjoni ġenwina dwar ir-riformi usa’ tal-ippjanar li Malta verament teħtieġ.

In-nies se jinġabru quddiem il-Qorti fl-10am u jimxu lejn Kastilja, fejn se jsiru xi diskorsi.
Il-protesta nazzjonali hija l-ewwel azzjoni mħabbra bħala parti mill-kampanja Ġustizzja għal Artna li ġiet imnedija l-ġimgħa li għaddiet. Gruppi madwar Malta u Għawdex, kemm formali kif ukoll informali, huma mistiedna jissieħbu fil-protesta u fil-kampanja billi jibagħtu email fuq info@gustizzjartna.org.
Aktar tagħrif dwar il-kampanja u t-talbiet tagħha jinsab fuq www.gustizzjartna.org.

Ġustizzja Għal Artna: Flimkien, Inwaqqfuhom! - PROTESTA
2025-10-27 17:30 - 20:00 | Law Courts, VGX6+9RQ, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
Il-kampanja Ġustizzja għal Artna qed issejjaħ lin-nies biex jerġgħu jingħaqdu fi protesta t-Tnejn, is-27 ta’ Ottubru. Il-protesta se tibda fil-5.30pm minn quddiem il-Qorti u tibqa’ miexja lejn il-Parlament.
Ripetutament stqarrejna li nippreferu npoġġu madwar mejda u niddiskutu r-riformi urġenti li pajjiżna għandu bżonn fil-qasam tal-ambjent u l-ippjanar. Madankollu, minkejja l-għajta tal-poplu għal ġustizzja — inklużi dawk l-eluf li s-Sibt, 4 ta’ Ottubru ħarġu jipprotestaw fit-toroq tal-Belt — il-Prim Ministru Robert Abela qed jibqa’ jirrifjuta li jisma’ lill-poplu.
L-hekk imsejħa “riforma” tal-ippjanar hija mannara mdendla fuq għonq in-nies. Il-fatt li din il-protesta se taħbat mal-jum li fih jiġi ppreżentat il-Baġit mhuwiex kumbinazzjoni. Il-messaġġ tagħna huwa ċar: dan mhuwiex ‘business as usual’.
Iż-żewġ abbozzi tal-ippjanar u t-tliet avviżi legali jippreżentaw theddida imminenti għall-postijiet li huma l-aktar għal qalbna, għall-komunitajiet tagħna, għall-ġustizzja soċjali, u għad-demokrazija.
Se jżarmaw is-salvagwardji eżistenti kollha kontra l-iżvilupp bla rażan billi jneħħu s-saħħa effettiva tar-regolamenti tal-ippjanar u jagħtu kontroll assolut lill-Awtorità korrotta tal-Ippjanar.
Id-dritt tal-pubbliku li jappella deċiżjonijiet illegali b’mod effettiv se jiġi severament limitat, u l-Qorti se titlef is-setgħa tagħha li tirrevoka permessi illegali.
L-avviżi legali se jagħtu amnestija totali għal kull xorta ta’ illegalità li saret sas-sena l-oħra, b’ebda limitu fuq it-tip, id-daqs jew il-post li fih saret.
Nemmnu bis-sħiħ li n-nies għandhom is-saħħa li jwaqqfu dan l-attakk fuq il-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħhom. Għalhekk qed nerġgħu nsejħu lill-pubbliku biex insaħħu din il-ġlieda kontra l-bullies ta’ dan il-pajjiż — dawk li jemmnu li l-flus jagħtuhom id-dritt li jirfsu fuq iċ-ċittadini komuni.
It-Tnejn 27 ta’ Ottubru, se nerġgħu nuruhom li aħna mhux se naċċettaw li ngħixu taħt il-ħakma tal-iżviluppaturi.
Flimkien, inwaqqfuhom!

The Ġustizzja għal Artna campaign is calling on the people to join a protest on Monday 27th October. The protest will start at 5:30pm from the Law Courts and move towards Parliament.
We have repeatedly stated that we would much rather sit around a table to discuss the urgent planning and environmental reforms our country needs. However, despite the people’s cry for justice, including the thousands who took to the streets on Saturday 4th October, Prime Minister Robert Abela continues to refuse to listen.
This so-called planning reform is a Damocles’ sword hanging over the people’s heads. It is no coincidence that this protest will coincide with the presentation of the annual Budget. Our message is clear: this is not business as usual.
The two planning bills and three legal notices pose an imminent threat to our most cherished places, our communities, social justice, and democracy.
They would dismantle all existing protections against unbridled construction by rendering planning regulations ineffective and placing full control in the hands of the corrupt Planning Authority.
They would also severely undermine the public’s right to effectively appeal illegal decisions, and strip the Court of its power to revoke illegal permits.
Additionally, the legal notices would grant a blanket amnesty for all sorts of illegalities committed up to last year, with no limits on type, size, or location.
We strongly believe that the people have the power to stop this assault on their quality of life and are the last lines of defence against the greed of developers. Thus, we call on the public to intensify this fight against the bullies of this country – those who believe that money gives them the right to trample over the common citizen.
On Monday 27th October, we’ll show once again that we refuse to live under the reign of developers.
Together, we’ll stop them!

Together with Għaqda Storja u Kultura Birżebbuġa, we will have a stand with information about the planning laws which, if enacted by Parliament, will lead to unprecedented environmental and social destruction. The draft laws and legal notices presented by the Government seek to dismantle all existing protections in order to grant developers unlimited power.

Ġustizzja Għal Artna: Ir-Riformi li Neħtieġu
2026-04-11 10:30 - 11:30 | Castille Square, VGW6+88F, Valletta, Malta
Il-kampanja favur Ġustizzja għal Artna se tkompli, u mill-ġdid qed nitolbu l-appoġġ sħiħ tagħkom.
Nhar is-Sibt, 11 ta’ April, se nniedu Ġustizzja għal Artna: Ir-Riformi li Neħtieġu. Filwaqt li se ntennu t-talba tagħna sabiex jiġu rtirati ż-żewġ abbozzi tal-liġi u t-tliet avviżi legali li ressaq il-Gvern, se nippreżentaw ukoll il-proposti tagħna għal riforma fl-ippjanar ta’ veru, imsejsa fuq l-interessi ta’ pajjiżna u mhux l-interessi tal-iżviluppaturi.
Ilna snin twal nitolbu b’mod urġenti riforma fl-ippjanar li tindirizza l-ħerba li għandna fl-ippjanar, fl-ambjent u fil-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħna – minn bini bl-addoċċ sa kummerċ bla rażan, assalt fuq il-biedja, u qerda tal-ambjent naturali.
Għalhekk, meta f’Lulju li għadda l-Gvern ippreżenta l-hekk imsejħa riforma fl-ippjanar, li fil-fatt kienet lista tax-xewqat tal-iżviluppaturi, ir-rabja ta’ ħafna nies kellha żewġ aspetti: dawn il-liġijiet mhux biss kienu se jżarmaw il-protezzjoni li għad fadal mir-regħba tal-ftit, imma kienu wkoll opportunità mitlufa biex isiru r-riformi li veru neħtieġu.
Ingħaqdu magħna għal konferenza stampa nhar is-Sibt, 11 ta’ April, fl-10.30am, quddiem Kastilja, sabiex nuru li l-poplu jrid riforma li tħares il-ġid komuni. Se nippreżentaw erba’ proposti fl-oqsma ta’: l-appelli fl-ippjanar, l-infurzar, is-sanzjonar fl-ODZ, u l-klassifikazzjoni ta’ art bħala ODZ.
Narawkom.

The campaign in favor of justice for our land will continue, and once again we are asking for your full support.
On Saturday, 11 April, we will launch Ġustizzja għal Artna: The Reforms We Need. While we will reiterate our call for the withdrawal of the two bills and the three legal notices put forward by the Government, we will also present our proposals for genuine planning reform, based on the interests of our country rather than those of developers.
For many years, we have been urgently calling for planning reform that addresses the mess we are facing in planning, the environment, and our quality of life — from unbridled construction to unrestrained commercial activity, attacks on agriculture, and the destruction of the natural environment.
Therefore, when last July the Government presented the so-called planning reform, which in reality was a developers’ wish list, many people’s anger had two dimensions: these laws would not only dismantle what little protection remains from the greed of a few, but they also represented a missed opportunity to implement the reforms we truly need.
Join us for a Press Conference on Saturday, 11 April, at 10:30am, in front of Castille, to show that the people want reforms for the common good. We will present four proposals in the areas of: planning appeals, enforcement, sanctioning in ODZ areas, and the classification of land as ODZ.
See you there.

Besides reducing your environmental impact, you’ll also be supporting our work. As we gear up to fight Goliath battles, we need all the help we can get. All the funds raised will go directly to Moviment Graffitti to continue our fight.
What’s more, members of Moviment Graffitti will receive a small discount on any purchases. Just show us your account on the day. Thank you for your continued support.
You can also have a drink as you browse or hang around. Please note the venue is only accessible by stairs.

Tgħaddux Gaffa Minn Fuq Pembroke - Konferenza Stampa
2026-05-23 11:00 - 12:30 | Triq Gabriele Henin, WFHH+P4R, Pembroke, Malta
Bħalissa hemm pjanijiet li ser ibiddlu radikalment għall-agħar il-ħajja f’Pembroke. Medda kbira ta’ art pubblika u mhux mimsusa fl-inħawi ta’ Triq Gabriel Henin mistennija tingħata lil tliet klabbs tal-futbol biex jinbena kumpless sportiv:
Żewġ grawnds tal-futbol full-size, b’wieħed minnhom jesa’ iktar minn 2,000 spettatur, u bosta faċilitajiet oħra.Dawn se jkunu jistgħu jintużaw għal attivitajiet tal-massa, bħal kunċerti, u mhux biss għall-isports.Artijiet li jingħataw għall-isport jistgħu wkoll jospitaw faċilitajiet kummerċjali – minn lukandi u djar tal-anzjani, sa shopping malls u ristoranti.
Ingħaqdu magħna nhar is-Sibt, 23 ta’ Mejju, fil-11am – ġewwa Triq Gabriel Henin – għal konferenza stampa mir-residenti.
Żvilupp massiċċ ta’ din ix-xorta, biswit id-djar tar-residenti, fuq art verġni, u ħdejn sit tan-Natura 2000, se jkollu effetti devastanti, fosthom:
Tniġġis qawwi bid-dawl u l-istorbjuProblemi kbar ta’ traffiku biex tidħol u toħroġ minn PembrokeQerda tal-art naturaliĦerba fil-kwalità ta’ ħajjitna u fit-tgawdija ta’ djarna
Pembroke diġà jinsab assedjat minn żviluppi mostrużi. Pembroke se jsir Paceville ieħor. Pembroke ma jiflaħx iktar.
Faċilitajiet sportivi jistgħu jsiru f’żoni alternattivi: mingħajr ma tinqered in-natura, u mingħajr ma tinħoloq ħerba fil-kwalità tal-ħajja tar-residenti.
Narawkom hemm!

Plans are currently underway that will radically transform life in Pembroke for the worse. A vast stretch of public, untouched land in the Gabriel Henin Street area is expected to be handed over to three football clubs for the construction of a sports complex:
Two full-size football pitches, one of which will accommodate over 2,000 spectators, along with numerous other facilities.These venues will be available for mass events, such as concerts, and not just for sports.Land granted for sporting purposes can also host commercial facilities — ranging from hotels and retirement homes to shopping malls and restaurants.
Join us on Saturday, May 23rd, at 11:00am – in Gabriel Henin Street – for a press conference by the residents.
A massive development of this nature, right next to residents’ homes, on virgin land, and adjacent to a Natura 2000 site, will have devastating effects, including:
Intense light and noise pollutionMajor traffic congestion when entering and exiting PembrokeThe destruction of natural landThe ruin of our quality of life and the enjoyment of our homes
Pembroke is already under siege from monstrous developments. Pembroke is set to become another Paceville. Pembroke can take no more.
Sports facilities can be built in alternative areas: without destroying nature, and without wreaking havoc on the residents’ quality of life.
See you there!
