De La Cruz garden and playing field, next to the hockey club in Qormi, is in a very shabby state. The garden, which falls under the responsibility of the local council and the Kunsill Malti għall-Isport, has been neglected and has not been cleaned regularly. Meanwhile, a number of rules, including that forbidding smoking, are being broken blatantly.
Health hazard
A huge number of pigeons nesting in an abandoned building in Bishop Caruana Street, Msida, are causing problems for residents of the area. They are generating a huge amount of excrement, which is not only a health hazard but is also a disgusting eyesore.
Dust clouds
In recent weeks, works have been going on at Birkirkara Road, St Julian’s, and the nature of the works required has created a lot of inconvenience for the neighbourhood. However, when the laying of pipes was completed, the amount of dust left behind was impossible to cope with. Several calls to the local council and many days later, the situation remains the same.
No discount
Three months have already passed since the energy and water rates were reduced for hotels, restaurants and businesses. Has anybody noticed any firm or company reducing its prices?
Jesus heals you
A number of stickers informing you that Jesus loves you and Jesus heals you have been stuck on road signs, gates and in a number of other spots across the island. One such sticker has been stuck to the upper part of one of the gates of the Law Courts.
Daily eyesore
This is the sight anyone coming and leaving Marsaxlokk has been met with on a daily basis for close to three years. No one will take responsibility, and nothing ever gets done about it. Such abuse must be stopped immediately and the culprits brought to book.
