Association highlights Marsascala's potential

Marsascala could be transformed into a classy waterfront - benefiting both residents and the business community - if an effort was made to upgrade the entire area, the Marsascala Bars and Restaurants Association said yesterday.

The association commented on what it described as the positive outcome of last week's pilot project when Triq ix-Xatt (Marina Street) was pedestrianised. However, the association highlighted the need for a holistic approach towards upgrading the village since a pedestrian zone alone was not enough.

The association said it agreed with the development of a yacht marina and tourist resort in the village so long as the area's characteristics were respected.
