Momentum supports petition to save Swatar land from development 11.04.2026

Momentum is actively supporting a parliamentary petition aimed at safeguarding a significant undeveloped agricultural area in Swatar, located behind St Martin’s College in Msida. This land, equivalent to 17 football pitches, is crucial for absorbing rainwater, thereby mitigating flood risks in surrounding areas like Msida, and its development would eliminate a vital natural buffer. Developers are pushing for a 22-meter building height, approximately seven floors, on the site, which was incorporated into the development zone in 2006. Momentum criticizes political parties for inaction, urging residents to sign the petition to prevent the permanent loss of this green space and ensure its preservation for future generations.
