Who Cares? - 27 July 2014

Malta Independent Sunday, 27 July 2014, 09:00 Last update: about 11 years ago
  Msida house causing damage to neighbour’s property This house at 46, 47 Church Street Msida is in a dire state of disrepair. Our correspondent knows the owners and attempted to speak with them but when he did the door was slammed shut in his face.  The correspondent’s mother and father are suffering damages to their house. But when the police were informed of the situation and who the owners are (names withheld but suffice it to say that they are very connected politically), “they looked at the sky as if to say ‘sorry but we can do nothing about it’”.

 

  Parking on Constitution Street, Mosta Photo shows a typical Sunday morning on Constitution Street, Mosta. All cars parked on the left are illegally parked in the space reserved for public transport. Because of that, buses have to stop in the middle of the road, in the process creating traffic jams. The Mosta Police Station is across the road and policemen are continually crossing the road to get to the bar on the left.

 

 

Danger at skatepark roundabout, Msida Our correspondent does not know if it was a bus shelter or a billboard that was removed from the spot in this photo where there is a gaping hole in the pavement, but this is how it was left after the work was carried out.  

No entry except for access! A traffic sign off Palm Street in Victoria Gozo reads ‘No entry except for access.’ Do streets and roads serve any other purpose?!  

 

Ta Xbiex Yacht owners' rubbish Yacht owners should be monitored by CCTV and warned by the company running the marina, our correspondent suggests. And what about action by wardens or the local council for that matter?   The aim of The Malta Independent on Sunday’s Who Cares? column is to give readers the opportunity to get involved in citizen journalism, to vent their frustrations regarding situations they encounter and to have a new channel through which they can make their grievances known to the powers that be, through both its news pages and its website. Reasonable and well-founded contributions will be published in The Malta Independent on Sunday and on the news portal at www.independent.com.mt Please be patient if issues raised are not printed immediately. We have been inundated with items for inclusion but we will print each and every one of them in due course. Readers are invited to send their observations, complaints, grievances and the like, with accompanying photographs if available, to The Malta Independent on Sunday at: [email protected]
