Hands Off Hondoq!

The quarry as it was in 1951.
Nature can still be reversed to this pristine state.

Hondoq ir-Rummien, a coastal area and bay in Qala Gozo, is one of the few remaining tracts of open countryside left in the Maltese Islands. The sea in this area boasts some of the cleanest, clearest water in all of Malta and Gozo, attracting locals and divers alike to spend time in this tranquil beauty spot.

It is now being threatened by a proposed development plan to build a five star hotel catering for 170 bedrooms, approximately 25 villas, 60 Self Catering Units, 200 Multi-Ownership Residences, 731 Underground parking spaces (only 90 allowed for public use), 10 shops, 5 restaurants and a marina for between 100 to 150 crafts.

So help us save Hondoq by signing the petition.

Thank you for your support, and forward this email to your family, friends and collegues for them to visit http://soshondoq.blogspot.com and sign the petition too.

HANDS OFF HONDOQ!

Our aim is to rehabilitate the disused quarry into a national park where everyone can enjoy the beauty of nature as was previously listed in the Gozo Local Plan.
