An eight-storey hotel proposed over an existing townhouse on Sacred Heart Avenue, St Julian’s, is being recommended for refusal by the Planning Authority’s directorate. A final decision will taken on 17 March.
The development, which would be visible from the grounds of the Zammit Clapp hospital, was deemed ‘excessive’ by the PA case officer even if its height conforms to a controversial policy that allows two storeys over local plan height limits for hotels.
All state-run homes for the elderly will have WiFi available by the end of March, the government has pledged.
WiFi services have been installed and set up at care home in Mtarfa which houses 123 residents, with work underway to have similar service at a care home in Floriana. WiFi will also be installed in other homes in Mosta, Mellieħa, Żejtun, Cospicua and Zammit Clapp hospital.
In a statement on Saturday, the Active Ageing Ministry said that providing WiFi services in residents’ rooms would make it easier for residents to get used to using the internet and for them to keep in contact with their loved ones.
