Over the past year, the Ramblers’ Association held numerous discussions with the current land owner of Fomm ir-Riħ, Mr Sandro Chetcuti, in a bid to ensure that public access to the foreshore at Fomm ir-Riħ is safeguarded, while respecting the right to his property.
The association wishes to inform its members and the general public that discussions are at an advanced stage, following a cordial meeting between the association, the landowner and the relevant Ministries.
A potential equitable solution which guarantees public access to the entirety of the Fomm ir-Riħ foreshore has been identified and with the goodwill shown by all parties the association is confident that a win-win situation can be achieved in the very near future.
