DB’s monster in Pembroke recommended for approval
UPDATE: The Planning Board approved the DB monster on the ex-ITS site: two 18-storey towers and a 12-storey hotel in a residential area and in the midst of sensitive historical and natural sites.
This is how "Mercury Tower" looks from the beach at Pembroke. Can you imagine how the ITS DB Tower will look like unless it is stopped ??
Together with the Pembroke Residents and other NGOs we will continue fighting against this disgusting decision taken by a 7 member PA Board who ignored the representations of 17,000 of individuals. This can only be done with your support - find out more on how you can support us ...

June Flower of the Month: Mediterranean Thyme
he Mediterranean Thyme (MT: Sagħtar) Thymbra capitata is a hardy low growing and aromatic shrub protected by law but not from the relentless winds and long droughts which dominate its preferred habitat. The expanses of garigue have by now dried up and most plants have withered, shed their leaves for summer or commenced their dormant period but the habitat still presents us with a marvellous start of summer spectacle of flowering mats ranging in hues of purple, lilac, pink and the occasional pale/whitish varieties and with a great buzzing of bees and other pollinators.
