The Malta Developers Association (MDA) has reached agreement today with Transport Malta to allow contractors' vehicles to be used in secondary roads. MDA has been in discussion with TM for several weeks in which it has outlined the challenges being faced by many contractors and workers.

It was agreed that vehicles like lifters, concrete mixers and light cranes, trucks transporting building bricks and other 'wide' vehicles will be allowed to be used before 9.30 a.m. in most secondary roads without obstructing traffic.

Transport Malta next week will be issuing a memo to all local councils outlining this agreement.

"MDA is very grateful that the Chairman of Transport Malta together with his team took note of the difficulties caused to these contractors and we are very satisfied with the outcome and agreement reached," MDA President Sandro Chetcuti concluded.
