Members of the MSU meet regularly at the Msida subway and have decided to make good use of the unused space in the subway. MSU have drafted plans and proposals for the possible development of the subway into a skate park. The proposed park would still leave a free pathway for pedestrians to use the various exits safely.

They are currently holding talks with government authorities to assess the possibility of such a development. In the meantime they clean the place regularly and throw the waste in nearby skips as the dustbins in the subway are not emptied regularly. They also paint over any rude graffiti drawn by vandals.

Niki Young of MSU said that the maintenance and upkeep of the skate park would be the sole responsibility of the MSU and will not exert any extra pressure on the government. The money needed for the skate park will be raised with a series of fund-raising activities such as organising skate-boarding competitions or, possibly, creating a line of clothing Chris Jensen, president of MSU said. Another suggestion was to show a series of film premieres of skate-boarding movies, or to sell skate-boards to children.

Mrs Camilleri praised MSU and said that they have her full support. She will give them a helping hand and praised their efforts for taking the initiative to start fighting for what they wanted and what they believed in. Mrs Camillieri said MSU embodies the fundamental principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. She emphasised the importance of their development as a group, and said that “MSU are doing everything the right way”.
