Balluta Bay is one of Malta's most eye-catching addresses. But judging by this photo, some local businesses are not too bothered about keeping up that reputation.
A sorry sight at Balluta Bay.
A photo sent in by a Times of Malta reader shows the pitiful state a pavement close to the promenade is in, with rubbish strewn around a recycling bring-in site.
"How can this be allowed? This is a weekly occurrence. What a disgrace," fumed the reader, who blamed local cafes and restaurants for indiscriminately dumping rubbish on the curb.
"They just dump trash, even after bins have just been emptied," he said.
Is it time for the local council to crack the whip and clamp down on abusers?
