Sliema Local Council reiterate today that it has no jurisdiction on the placing of structures and hawkers at The Strand and other prominent locations in Sliema.
This matter has been persistently reported to the competent authorities, including the Police and Lands Department. To date, however, there has been no improvement to this unsightly and abusive situation, the council said.
Sliema Local Council has waited far too long and now expects that appropriate action be taken so that this be resolved through the issuing of charges and the removal of all abusive structures and hawkers.
