Given what appears to be the almost total absence of police officers on the main streets of Sliema, it is hardly surprising there is such flagrant disregard for the law. It could be driving the wrong way in a one-way road, adults riding bicycles on the Sliema seafront (despite signs forbidding this) or people texting and using their mobiles while driving.
With Sliema’s once beautiful architectural heritage already wrecked by the developers, has Sliema been abandoned to laissez faire in all respects?
