Substandard roads

This photo is of a long-forgotten main road in Victoria. It is called Pjazzetta Fuq it-Tomba. It seems that while most roads are being resurfaced, come rain or shine, this one has been totally forgotten.

I have written to the Minister of Gozo, to the Office of the Prime Minister, to the person in charge of the projects, etc. I think what we residents need to do is to paint all our doors blue so the angel of Providence will not pass over this road another year.

This road has never been resurfaced and only patched up haphazardly. The following downpour usually wipes out the work done. We have ended up mopping water out of our living room every day, with my poor 88-year-old mother worrying constantly about the next downpour.

I want all Malta to see the reality behind the window-dressing of European standards we are supposed to be enjoying. A great example of EU state-of-the art roadworks.

Shame on the Minister for Gozo who seems to ignore this road constantly and shame on anybody boasting about our roads. This in itself should pop us out of the EU immediately because it resembles a Third World country or a shot of the moon surface.

Please Prime Minister and Minister for Gozo, look at how you are constantly ignoring those who are paying tax.

These have been 20 years of shame.
