Following another report of attempted vandalism on trees in Dwejra, the San Lawrenz Council has reiterated its urgent call for the need for more security in Dwejra.

In a statement the Council said that following the recent incidents in Dwejra Bay of vandalism on protected trees, it is asking the authorities to “seriously offer this area more security.”

The Council said that it has “repeatedly drawn attention to these and other abuses that take place both during the day and more and more at night.”

In addition to the need of increasing Police presence, the Council reiterated the need for CCTV surveillance.

If the Council is provided with the necessary funding, it said that it is ready to undertake this project itself.

However it noted with regret “that not only is the council not being given funds to be able to manage the area, but in the last allocation the money that was supposed to be given was reduced.”

The San Lawrenz Local Council concluded by urging the authorities concerned “to take the necessary steps and even support the Local Council in the care and interest it shows towards this area which forms an important part of the locality of San Lawrenz.”
