Well done to The Times for gracing the back page with the majestic Balluta Mansions façade. The coverage on page 5 of the pigeon droppings problem included a picture showing in part, from a balcony in this magnificent building, a view of Balluta Bay, a bay which hopefully will retain its present characteristics of a tranquil spot and not be turned into another sandy “Għadira” chock-full of people in their underwear smack in front of the no less majestic Carmelite church.
