| Abstract: | My grievances are directed towards MEPA decision-taking facilities and not towards its ranks of dedicated staff who most often have no bearing on the final decisions taken. Dr Beryl Palmier (The Sunday Times, January 4) justly laments the pillage and neglect of our architectural and historical heritage, especially Fort St Angelo. However, such a pillage is foreshadowed in microcosm every few days all over the islands with MEPA apparently failing to stop the rot. A case in point is that of two vintage farmhouses along Ramla Road in Nadur (one facing Ramla Bay and the other facing Bingemma Valley), which were exquisitely built of corbelled stone and had even a rock-hewn staircase leading up to their entrance. As from July 18, 2001(to be even more precise, at around 9 p.m.), they have been replaced by an ignominious mound of rubble. |
