Well, that’s one way to get public feedback
It is easy to act like a tough guy with someone like Ronnie Gauci, but if the Planning Authority really wants to impress us, it should start throwing its weight around with the Portellis, the Ċaqnus and the Debonos of this island

If the Planning Authority ever wondered how the public feels about the way it functions (or fails to function), it got its answer this week.
When news spread that a man named Ronnie Gauci, who had taken it upon himself to clean up and decorate a previously litter-strewn spot in the area known as Top of the World in Għarghur, was being forced to demolish it or face a hefty €50k fine, jaws collectively dropped in disbelief. His crime? He had made a makeshift structure complete with plants without the necessary permit. Social media erupted in outrage.
