New board to oversee roads directorate

Let's not talk about roads...lets talk about what remains of them....

Some help to the two newly-appointed boards....here is a list of the roads which are in dire need of reconstruction/resurfacing

Pitkali Road, Attard
Durumblat Road, Attard
Triq San Pawl tal-Qliegha, Mosta
Vjal il-Labour, Naxxar
Triq is-Salib Imqaddes in Birkirkara has been in the same horrible state for months now...or should i say a decade!
Sliema Road, Sliema/Gzira
Ghajn Dwieli Road Paola
Triq it-Tlett Ibliet, Bormla,
Triq San Frangisk Bormla
Triq san Pawl Bormla,
Triq Panzavecchia Isla
Triq ix-Xatt ta' Bormla
Triq 10 ta Settembru Zabbar
Triq il-Kunsill ta L-Ewropa Zabbar
Triq Tal-Labour Zabbar
The road linking Hompesch arch (roundabout) to Zejtun is in shambles. guess nobody important passes from there, except the common man in the street.
Triq il-Qasam Industrjali, Zabbar
Vjal Millbrae Mosta

and the list goes on....these are only a few of the worst roads that come to mind!

oh, and one cannot forget the never laid road of Triq Nazzareno Sammut in Qrendi!!!

good luck to the new boards. We all hope that your work will be put in practice within the next couple of months....even though it is summer we hope that this will be no excuse to sleep over the road....we have enough sleeping policemen for that...which definitely do not allow us to sleep on our roads...apart from the holes!....

and what about some standards on "sleeping policemen" please?! we are all tired of leaving part of our cars behind.

And how about the road linking Siggiewi to Mqabba passing through Ta Kandja. Why wasn't the small stretch of road at San Gusepp Tat Targa, Mosta,financed by the Italian protocol never completed. If it as a reminder that we could be worse

@Marisa Attard

If I may add another road to your list, I would include Triq il-Kunsill ta' L-Ewropa: the road linking Cottoner Avenue in Fgura to Cottonera (and Smart City in the near future), which once resurfaced will reduce the volume of traffic from Fgura.

An what about the road which from Marsa leads to Qormi, behind St. Sebastian Church? Nobody passes that way? JT

Let me add another stretch of road that needs seeing to pronto! St. Paul's street in Cospicua (or is it Senglea?) this is the only road leading in and out of Senglea. it was half tarmaced some years ago but the other half would not go amiss on the moon. Another street that has gone to the dogs is Juan Azopardo street along Senglea's waterfront. it is crying out for a much needed facelift. and what about Dome street in Fgura?

More of the same...board made of of "friends of friends"! And which law gives Austin Gatt the power to appoint not one but two Boards for ADT.

And how about the old Marsascala Bypass, linking Zabbar with
Marsascala. This road is also in a very bad state, especially the stretch of road leaving Zabbar. It is about time that the roads networks in the south of Malta are given a priority now. It is shameful that when travelling in the north of Malta one can enjoy very good roads and when returning to my home town it is like going back to the middle ages.

Good! Does that mean that M'Scala bypass, the road linking Zabbar village to M'Scala, Labour Road Zabbar and 10th September Road (tas-sigar) Zabbar will be four roads to be given utmost priority? Their condition is shameful. After four years of EU membership we expect better roads all around.
