MIDI Project
SRA is not alone in campaigning for real planning controls to be applied to the MIDI development – prompted by the developers’ failure to hold a public consultation meeting before the conclusion of the public consultation period, SRA and Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar (FAA) organised a public meeting on the 24 of June 2011, which was attended by a record crowd of over 300 residents. Various aspects of the project and the MEPA processing were explained to the residents by SRA and FAA committee members, and the residents present confirmed that in spite of all the good undertakings of MEPA Reform, not one of them was aware of or had been informed of the development. Din L'Art Helwa is quoted (with permission) below: "any further building in the Tigne/Fort Cambridge area will continue Increase the density of the area unsustainably and will increase significantly the negative effect the development has on the sightlines across to the world heritage city of Valletta. Our organisation [Din L'Art Helwa] also declares that in the absence of a national policy for high rise development, no further applications of such scale should be considered until such policy is established" On Thursday 19 january 2012, MEPA approved the building of 100 appartments during a public hearing.
