Dr Harry Vassallo Meets Marsalforn Residents

During a Press Conference held today Sunday 16th December near the Otters' Waterpolo Club in Marsalforn, Alternattiva Demokratika Chairperson Dr Harry Vassallo remarked that Gozo lacked public aquatic sports facilities and that EU funds available for the development of sports facilities had not been tapped.

Alternattiva Demokratika is supporting Marsalforn residents and objecting to Planning Application 01894/07 by which a club intends to excavate the foreshore for a seawater pool and to construct other sports facilities extending existing site by another 30metres, effectively transferring a public foreshore into a private complex.

AD Secretary General and spokesman for Gozo Mr. Victor Galea said "All Gozitans would benefit from a national indoor heated swimming pool and the government should tap EU funds to provide central aquatic sports facility. Alternattiva Demokratika has a long successful history in keeping beaches freely available to the public. We intend to protect this coastal area left in Marsalforn to defend public rights of access, as well as to secure proper aquatic sports facilities elsewhere."

[Starmine45]

Leave us bulid up the pool!!!

Mhux int ha tlaqathom il-bram!!

Mela gej li ha nibnu block flats injurant!!

[adgozo]

Tiskanta kemm Starmine huwa short sighted. Minflok ma jaghmel; pressjoni fuq il-PN biex izomm il-wieghda ta' 30 sena ilu biex jaghmel pixxina nazzjali f'Ghawdex, irid minflok il-pool ghalih biss!

Tinsiex siehbi li skond rapport ta' l-EU il-bahar hemmhekk in fettat (polluted). Tghid min infettah? Ta' l-Alternattiva wkoll?

u ohra....mhux ser nghajrek injurant bhalma ghamilt int. Dak jiddieciedi min qed jaqra.

mux ax irrid najrek injurant ta AdGozo, imma fil fatt intom injoranti, jew kontu injoranti fil bini ta din il-pool. (injorant fis dens li ma tkunx taf). Ippanikjajtu lir-residenti li joqghodu vicin fuq xejn. Jekk vera kontu tafu fiex kien jikkonsisti il-pjan ma kontux titniffsu. Il-fatt hu li intom tippriedkaw hafna fuq is sahha tat-tfal, li importantin l-isport etc, imbghad kontu kontra il-bini tal-pool, f'zona li ma fiha l-ebda interess jew valur, anzi tintuza min-nies al bbqs u biex ipixxu!!
