Action on rusted ladder
While thanking Charles Schembri (Dangerous Rusted Ladder At Qawra, July 3) for bringing the matter to our attention by means of this newspaper, I would like to inform the correspondent that the beach-ladder in question was removed immediately, to be replaced by a new ladder within a couple of days. This will possibly be in place by the time that this letter is printed.
The Malta Tourism Authority is making every possible effort to ensure that satisfactory standards are maintained across the board.
The cooperation of the public, in this respect, is also greatly appreciated.

The St Pauls Bay council is negotiating better and more frequent services for Qawra and Bugibba during the day.
But wouldn`t cost much to remedy small things that so frustrate tourists (and locals alike).
For example, improving the bus service at peak times in tourist areas. Have you ever driven along the bus route in St Pauls Bay and Sliema between 10 and 11 am and Mellieha late afternoon ? Surely Malta could afford a couple of extra buses at that time.
Regular entertainment during Summer at Sliema and Bugibba also comes to mind. Malta Nights with typical Maltese food are always popular (and could also be profitable).
My pet hate at the moment are the rubbish bins in Sliema. They are grey and blend in well with the greenery. Near the Kiosk at Font Ghadir there is a bright red bin meant for dog dirt. However, it seems that no one has realised it`s purpose as it`s always overflowing with normal refuse. The bins near the Kiosks at Ghar-id-dud are also always full. Shouldn`t the Kiosks be held responsible in providing and maintaining bins in their area.
Amazing. Why did it have to get to the newspaper for anyone to act. The St Pauls bay local council has informed you of the matter quite some time ago. Well done anyway, Now lets have the new ladders installed.
