An appeal has been filed with the Environment and Planning Review Tribunal (EPRT) against the decision of the PA Board that recently approved the db Group project on the ITS site in Pembroke.
The seventeen appellants include residents, NGOs and three local councils – Pembroke, St. Julian's and Swieqi.
Filing this appeal was only made possible thanks to public support. A total of €24,350 was donated by the public during a fundraising campaign that started on the 7th October. The €15,000 target was reached in the first four days of this campaign.
Donations towards this campaign are still being accepted for possible legal action against the db Group project, beyond the appeal with the EPRT.
Special thanks to all those who have given their donation and those who are contributing to this campaign in one way or another. The eager participation in this campaign is a result of the public's outrage at a project that will benefit the very few at the expense of the people's wellbeing and the environment.
Thanks to public support, our fight to protect the environment and our quality of life continues, the NGOs said.
The fundraising campaign for the ITS-DB Legal Action Fund is supported by eight NGOs: Friends of the Earth, Din l-Art Ħelwa, Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar, BirdLife Malta, Moviment Graffitti, Ramblers Association, Nature Trust (Malta) and Żminijietna – Voice of the Left.
