Wied Iz-Zurrieq in shambles

From Mr E. Cutajar

Wied iz-Zurrieq is the responsibility of Qrendi local council. Can the mayor of this council please pay a visit to this popular tourist location and see for himself the mess it is in. Does he know that summer has already begun and this unique rocky beach is highly frequented by locals and tourists alike?

There are an insufficient number of ladders for bathers. Only young people and athletic bathers can climb out of the water after making a considerable effort, while children, the less fit and the elderly have to swim a considerable distance to make use of the few ladders available, or else use the slipway for boats.

There is also an urgent need to re-erect the iron railing next to the steps leading to the inner inlet. Moreover, a sufficient number of litterbins are necessary because these are also lacking.

I am sure that all the tourists and locals that frequent Wied iz-Zurrieq deserve a better service from Qrendi local council and expect without delay a marked improvement in the maintenance of this picturesque place.
