Construction works taking place in Ta’ Xbiex are leaving much to be desired. Dust is being regularly deposited in the sea, leaving an unsightly milky trail. Are the environment and health authorities aware of this?

Anything goes

It seems like anything goes for this government, which was elected with the slogan Tagħna Lkoll. Not only is parking being allowed in De Valette Square. It is also being allowed in Merchants Street, just outside the Foreign Ministry.

In the deep

Hundreds of potholes have been sprouting up across the island, especially after heavy rainfall. One deep hole, which seems to have caused many a broken suspension, is situated just past the traffic lights at Blata l-Bajda. It needs to be seen to immediately.

Shoddy work

The owner of a construction site in Bishop Labini Street, Birkirkara, thought he was being civic-minded when he decided to use some concrete to build a pavement. However the end result is not only shoddy but also dangerous for oncoming traffic. It protrudes onto the road and is very difficult to see, especially at night.
