Last year I wrote a letter (The Sunday Times, October 10, 2010) regarding the shameful state of the Marsascala playgrounds.

The mayor of Marsascala replied in this newspaper the following week, saying: “I would like to assure Mr Ciantar that our council has already taken steps to upgrade the central playground and to change all the equipment because as he himself noted, it is not only broken and outdated, but also a hazard to users.

“In fact, plans have already been drawn up and funds allocated to begin the reconstruction, modernisation and re-equipping of the playground according to EU safety regulations.”

One year has passed and absolutely nothing has been done, so an explanation is in order, without any lame excuses.

Or is this too much to ask?
