I have just returned from a two-week stay in Gozo, staying in a rented flat on Marsalforn promenade. I liked to swim in Qbajjar Bay in front of the boċċi court, a potentially beautiful spot spoilt by rubbish, broken seats, a pile of debris swept from the boċċi court and the unmistaken stench of urine. From my apartment I could see the individuals who use the area as a toilet. It would appear the place is not even swept let alone hosed off. I think the attached photograph demonstrates what I mean.

I intend to return next year. Hopefully, it will not be in the same state of disrepair.
