illegal tables and chairs

A Marsascala kiosk owner is refusing to remove tables and chairs placed illegally on the promenade, despite facing daily fines. The owner claims to have permits for the outdoor furniture, asserting they are within the permitted boundary lines. Enforcement officers, however, maintain the furniture encroaches on public space and have been issuing fines since May. The owner argues the kiosk is his livelihood and the outdoor seating is essential for his business. He insists he is being unfairly targeted while other businesses operate similarly without repercussions.
