The high ground area at the shoreward end of Delimara Point above il-Hofra z-Zghira in Marsaxlokk has turned into a waste dumping zone. This site has a nice belvedere of Delimara Port and is famous for the polygonal British Fort of Tas-Silg built between 1879 and 1883. Being quite remote, this site is ending up being filled with heavy dump waste including plastic paint containers, paper, broken glass, metal and even remains of construction material. On contacting Marsaxlokk Local Council we were told that heavy dump waste in this area is frequently reported and cleanup actions are continuously taken. Meanwhile, people keep on throwing heavy dump waste especially during sunset when there is no one to report. Then when the wind blows heavily most of this dump waste ends up in the sea port contaminating both water and underwater fish and vegetation. Security cameras are needed to monitor the area.

‘The Carob Cemetry’, that was our reference to the visit we recently had in Wied Ghollieq limits of San Gwann and Msida. This article is about the number of carob trees, some of them old that have been removed because of the building of the Kappara Junction. It seems they were removed not when a tree should be uprooted and planted somewhere else, and also uprooting seems that was carried out not in a professional way. It is unfair that these old carob trees had to be removed for the building of a new road. We all know that the carob trees are protected by law. According to the legal notice 12 of 2001 which is about trees and woodlands states that the carob tree is one of the protected trees. There are fines related to the removal of such trees which is 24,000 euros for each tree that has more of 10 years of age. From the photos taken we are assuming that they have more of 10 years due to its trunks. In addition to the above one ends up with few questions; Were they removed at the best time? Is the goverment going to take the responsability for this? Is the law enforecement for everyone? However we definetely need more awareness about such situations.
