Eyesore tents removed from St John’s Square in Valletta

The unsightly ‘tented’ structures illegally set up in front of three catering establishments in a prominent square fronting St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta have been removed. This, after Planning Authority enforcement officials, gave them an ultimatum prior to carrying out direct action.

Earlier this year, all three establishments were administered with an enforcement notice and a daily fine for having set up illegal ‘tented’ structures outside their respective catering outlets and for having increased tables and chairs over the permitted number and footprint.

The Authority will continue to monitor the sites to ensure compliance with the law.
