I refer to the article entitled ‘Illegalities in Sliema’ (The Sunday Times of Malta, January 18).

I was shocked by the fact that the Sliema council seems to be preoccupied with certain irregularities while completely ignoring the problem of illegal parking and the danger this is causing to pedestrians and residents on Tower Road. Notwithstanding my numerous complaints, as well as complaints by other residents and shop owners to the Sliema council about illegal parking in Tower Road, the council has failed to take any action.

This illegal parking makes Tower Road extremely dangerous, especially in the mornings since the pavement is blocked, leaving pedestrians no option but to walk along a busy road.

Do we need another accident for the council to act? I hope not. Furthermore, these vehicles are also obstructing the entrance to Sqaq it-Torri, which is causing an inconvenience to residents and shop owners who are hardly able to access their properties.

People who are wheelchair-bound or walking with a pram, furthermore, are unable to access Sqaq it-Torri.

I cannot understand how the council complains about certain illegalities and then fails to act on others.
