A letter of complaint by Charles Micallef from Qawra shows identical traits to the one the Sliema residents are bedevilled with vis-à-vis the Sliema council.
A gentleman with several impressive appointments during his professional career, another gentleman specialised in his particular profession, a prominent lady from Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar and I had volunteered to assist in the much-needed environment.
During the incumbency of the present council we were only asked once to attend a meeting under the chairmanship of one of the council members. Other than that, the silence that emanates from within the council offices is deafening.
In actual fact, as things are going I even thought that the Sliema council had been disbanded.
So like Mr Micallef has stated inter alia, “since our valuable and free contributions have been totally ignored” we too had decided to give up on giving a helping hand.
