The Mellieħa council today called on the authorities to widen Manikata Road in Manikata, where a car fell a height of around a storey-and-a-half last Friday.
The council said in a statement that although widening the road would help ease the traffic problems there, it was not a solution. It said it had been calling on the government to address the problem for years.
The solution, the council said, was to cut off traffic from the core of this community.
