A public consultation meeting organized by the Planning Authority was constantly disrupted by boos and jeers from the hundreds of people who turned up at Le Meridien Hotel.
Many of the people were residents, business owners and MP’s.
The height of buildings, population increase and residents concerns for their property and safety were among the hot topics raised during the stormy meeting.
Planning Authority official Joe Gauci was constantly heckled during his presentation.
Local Council leaders were opposed to the project and Malta Developers’ Association official Pierre Galea claimed that developers too will be negatively effected by the plan.
