The coast road has recently been patched. While this is all well and good, the reason behind it was that bicycles were in use for the Triathlon event. Should we really have to wait for such events just to patch up a road that is in disrepair?

On the same note, there seem to be a lot of cycling events on the go at the minute. They should have full access to the roads, as they do, and motorists should drive in their presence sensibly. But at the same time, cyclists should not bunch up on the road as it creates a danger, they should be in single file.

Wardens should not focus their efforts on "easy catches". They should have more presence on our roads and look for glaring contraventions, such as cars parked on busy artery road corners (to stop and buy some fruit and veg), and other areas where people simply pull up, park and create a hazard.

Various storm water culverts that pass under roads have alleviated flooding on our roads. However, the cement that was used to keep gratings in place is starting to shatter and come apart on a few of them. The government should, first of all, identify a better binding material, and secondly see to it that they are repaired as it is only a matter of time before someone really damages their car or worse.

It has been noted that several government employees have been deployed to removed sea weed that has accumulated in various bays around Malta over the winter season. Well done, they look much smarter.

When roadwork or construction is taking place, we have a habit in this country of not advising well before hand through signs or diversions. Drivers become very frustrated when they drive down a street and see a barrier some 100 metres away from the site in question, meaning that they have reverse all the way back down to a turn off.

Although the hunting season is over, one can still hear pops and bangs in the countryside. The lack of ALE resources is known, but citizens should report these cases of illegal hunting as the ALE do try to investigate all of them.

Bring in sites are sometimes misused. Often are the complaints that people dump wood and other materials that they are not supposed to at the sites. They are only meant for paper, plastic, glass and metal.

While driving around Malta, one notices that there are still several splashes of graffiti that date back donkeys years. Most of these involve calls to vote for various politicians during election time. Come on, some of them have been there over 10 years - cover them up or strip the paint off.
