A tower planned for Fort Cambridge, in Tigné is an entirely new proposal the Sliema local council insists it has never heard about.
It is one of two towers planned for the crowded peninsula, raising once again the controversy over congestion, air pollution and population density.
The topic is to be raised at the Sliema council by councillor Michael Briguglio, a former chairman of Alternattiva Demokratika, who pointed out the Fort Cambridge tower had never been on the cards.
