Foreign cars immune from parking fines?

Cars bearing foreign number plates seem to be immune from parking fines, whereas wrongly parked Malta-registered vehicles attract the attention of wardens, even at the most awkward hours of the day, a reader pouts out.


Gozo channel steps blocked off

A Gozo Channel ferry loaded with both tourists and locals, were recently and inexplicably barred from using the steps to the garage deck, as this photograph sent in by a reader shows.


Dangerous road manoeuvres

While the daily heavy traffic snakes up the Iklin by-pass leading to Naxxar, some adventurous drivers take the liberty of driving up on the wrong side of the road and waiting until someone allows them into the queue. Maybe wardens should visit this area once in a while, a reader suggests.


Rubbish strewn across Gnien l-gharusa tal-Mosta

The Gnien l-Gharusa tal-Mosta is full of rubbish and is in dire need of regular cleaning by the local council, since it seems that our sense of civic pride is that of a third world country, a reader rightly complains.


Health and safety in the workplace

A construction site at the top of Dingli Street in Sliema has an extremely lax sense of health safety in the workplace, as evidenced by this precariously perched worker in a photograph sent in by a reader.


New balcony on disused church

This photograph, sent in by a reader, shows the disused church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on the Vittoriosa Waterfront. The wooden balcony on the façade wasn't there before, the reader observes, asking: "Any guess how it came about and what its purpose is? Maybe one of your readers would know?"
