Transport Minister ‘To Listen’ To Msida Park Project

After the Chamber of Architects and Civil Engineers of Malta (Kamra tal-Periti) issued their plans for a Msida Core Park, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Chris Bonett issued a statement saying that he is willing to listen to the proposal.

‘I noted the proposal by the Chamber which received reactions which I cannot, and in truth I don’t want to, ignore’, wrote Bonett.

‘The proposal which has appeared so far in the media consists of a design which, although appeals aesthetically, personally raises a number of questions on traffic management and the liberty I have at this stage to change the project as well as legal and financial consequences.’

‘It is important to remember that this project started 5 years ago. A number of changes were made, a wide consultation undertaken, and after this whole a process a tender was issued. This was won and a contract signed.’

He revealed that this is why he will be meeting the chamber to discuss the plan in some detail.

‘Rest assured that I am the first one to want this project to be possible.’
