Council must try harder

I must admit I was rather perplexed after reading the two letters written by the Mayor of Marsascala and a councillor in response to my letter of June 25 on the state of St Thomas Bay.

My confusion lies in the fact that if, as they say, they have been working hard to get the central government to do something about the bay's state of ruin, then I would have thought they would have applauded my letter and in some way used it to further promote their cause.

But it seems that on this rock, things don't quite work in this way!

Instead I was told off for "lambasting" the local council, and then what followed was a sob story and a finger pointing exercise that does not help solve the problem for sure!

I'm usually not one to dish out advice but one thing I know for sure: If it ain't working, try harder!
