I always rejoice at news of the removal of some unsightly billboard. I find that these horrible things add significantly to the ruin of our far from perfect streetscape.

I particularly loath the two billboards on the left of the Portes des Bombes entrance to Floriana. (The adverts on the billboards have been erased.) I feel they clash harshly with the elegance of these historical gates and severely cheapen the area.

It is ironic that these offending billboards are situated only a stone’s throw away from the premises of the all-powerful Mepa. All this in full view of our honourable politicians, including those especially entrusted to safeguard our historic heritage.

I plead with the competent authorities to remove these unsightly structures at once and restore the dignity Portes des Bombes deserves.
