Roadworks to continue during feast

Towards mid-May, the mayor of Sta Venera informed residents of Fleur-De-Lys Junction in Fleur-De-Lys that works on the street were to commence in the weeks that followed.

Many residents objected to starting works in June, since the local feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is due to be celebrated soon. Especially since the street is in the procession's route.

In spite of all objections and phone calls from residents, feast committee and the parish priest, the mayor acted in a most inconsiderate way and stuck to her plans without taking into account the importance of such an event for the residents. She assured residents that works were to be ready a week before the feast.

However, as many expected, the mayor had to take her word back as road works have to continue even during the week of the feast.
