MTA orders closure of illegal restaurant

An illegally-developed farmhouse, Scicluna Farmhouse, operating as an unlicensed restaurant in Gudja has been ordered to shut down by the tourism authority. The demand for closure, which followed an enforcement order that had been issued by the planning authority last year, comes on the back of a report by Times of Malta on Tuesday exposing the illegal operation and residents’ complaints about it. Following up on the story, the Malta Tourism Authority inspected the site and then told the police to close the restaurant down.
