I hope Joseph P. Borg recognises that no one has any special rights.

Where public property is involved, but that all residents, everywhere, have a very special first preference and this is the hope and aim of each and every local council.

However, Mr Borg is wrong in quoting "our courts". I fail to understand how each and every person against the introduction of the Residents' Parking Zone does not quote exactly what "our courts" have stated - that RPZ should be introduced everywhere or nowhere.

But it so happens that we are now officially part of the EU, where RPZ exists in all towns and villages with parking problems.

It seems that this problem (if it is really a problem) has reached a stage, here in Malta, where people living in trouble-free parking zones, like Wied iż-Żurrieq, Aħrax tal-Mellieħa, etc, are against RPZ.

Please, can we all be less egoistic - 300,000 vehicles on a tiny island like Malta is too much - parking/problems exist, and residents, most especially elderly people like myself, should be given preference, everywhere, like the recent mayors of our Sliema local council, have been trying to enforce.
