Jewel in crown that has lost its shine
Residents in parts of St Paul’s Bay have been made to suffer due to bad planning and the I-don’t-care attitude. Some roads are still in a state of despair, one being St George Road which was taken up by trench digging, waiting for weeks to be resurfaced.
Residents in parts of St Paul’s Bay have been made to suffer due to bad planning and the I-don’t-care attitude.
Some roads are still in a state of despair, one being St George Road which was taken up by trench digging, waiting for weeks to be resurfaced. Some roads which were listed in August 2010 for resurfacing works have not been started let alone finished.
The roads that have been done were those used when the Prime Minister came to pay a visit to St Paul’s Bay and Buġibba, but the rest are still on the waiting list. Some have been started this very week, disrupting the summer period when the place should be welcoming the tourists and the Maltese who have a summer residence or live there all year round.
Who was responsible to accept that 180 parking slots be removed from the area to be embellished when for years there were cries to increase the parking areas in the district?
Soon we are also to lose a free parking space of some 200 cars in Qawra. Does anybody care for St Paul’s Bay?
Some pavements are not navigable. You can see this when people actually risk their lives by walking on the road, mostly elderly people and people with pushchairs.
Another issue is garbage control. People are still allowed to dump all sorts of rubbish near bring-in sites and nothing is done to book people who bring out the garbage after collection time, sometimes leaving it there for two to three days.
The bollards and ironwork along Xemxija Promenade up to the government school have never been painted.
St Paul’s Bay should be the jewel in the Malta crown, and yet look at it now.
Love where you live and keep it tidy.
