Kerbside Petrol Station finally gets MEPA relocation approval

GRTU welcomes the Planning Authority’s decision approving the relocation of a kerbside station in St. Julians operated by GRTU member JOEM Autoparts Limited. The relocation of kerbside stations that still exist in several localities in Malta and Gozo is in line with MEPA guidelines aimed primarily at addressing safety considerations related to the potential hazards that small stations situated on pavements could pose. Most of these stations have their fuel tanks buried under public roads and their pumps installed on public pavements. These service stations moreover are several decades old and MEPA has considered it a prerogative to assist petrol station owners wherever possible in relocating to more suitable sites. Relocation will benefit from all the current safety features being introduced which also provide the least negative environmental impact. MEPA’s decision in this case followed the go ahead given by competent authorities having an interest in such projects, namely the Malta Resources Authority and Transport Malta.
