Students from Gozo College San Lawrenz Primary went on a walk on the nearby cliffs of Dwejra. Unfortunately, there were amazing amounts of dangers, illegal buildings and pollution from trucks dumping different materials in the country side probably not knowing that taking waste at the civic amenity site is free. One of the dangers is an abondoned disused quarry – unfortunately it is easy for someone to fall inside. The photo shows a very high wall where the building stone was cut in the past. If there was someone walking by there and did not notice that there is a drop right in front of them they would fall in it. Attention authorities – with just a little bit of money the area can be kept safe and clean. Can some barriers and signs warning people to keep away from the quarry be put up?
