Press Release

Din l-Art Helwa welcomes yesterday’s court ruling on the caravans at Armier beach, which confirms that the caravans are illegal.

These caravans are an eyesore and are denying the public their right to enjoy the foreshore, says the NGO. They are also causing environmental damage to the beach at Armier.

Din l-Art Helwa has stated for many years that the illegal caravans and boathouses at Armier should be removed.

It is a shame that it has taken so long for the authorities to act on these blatant illegalities.

Din l-Art Helwa calls on the government to take immediate action and remove these caravans, together with all other illegal structures in the area.

This an opportunity for the government to prove its declared interest in the environment, of which we have seen little evidence so far.
