As of today, anyone who passes the practical driving test will be able to pay for their driving licence immediately on site, Minister Chris Bonett, along with Transport Malta & ‘Infrastruttura’ announced.

Transport Malta will begin offering this new service at the offices of the Driving Training and Testing Unit in Floriana.

This initiative will reduce the need for individuals to travel to Transport Malta offices in Paola or Ħal Lija after passing their driving test.

Minister Chris Bonett also said that this initiative will reduce over 10,000 drives a year off Maltese roads.

Tag someone who’s taking their test soon!

MIDI Ready For Talks On Manoel Island Return To Government

MIDI Ready For Talks On Manoel Island Return To Government
Jun 9 2025 Share

On Sunday evening, MIDI plc stated that it is committed to continuing discussions in good faith to identify a solution that supports the Government’s expressed aim of regaining control of Manoel Island.

The company said it will keep the market informed of any significant developments in a transparent and timely manner.

MIDI acknowledged that recent statements by the Government have intensified calls to reconsider the future of the Manoel Island development.

Earlier that day, Prime Minister Robert Abela described his hope to see Manoel Island returned to the people as “a dream.”

MIDI was granted a 99-year concession in 2000 to develop luxury residential projects on Manoel Island and Tigné Point. This agreement was approved by the then Nationalist Government with support from the Opposition Labour Party.

In its statement, MIDI said it remains fully compliant with the existing Deed of Emphyteusis. However, the company confirmed it is open to negotiations with the Government, aiming to balance the national interest with the responsibilities it holds towards its shareholders and bondholders.

MIDI also acknowledged the Government’s declared wish to designate Manoel Island as a national park and stated its openness to a new agreement that reflects today’s political and social priorities.

Environmental group Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar (FAA) welcomed MIDI’s position, crediting a seven-year campaign involving grassroots activism, Moviment Graffitti, over 40 NGOs, and a petition signed by 29,000 people.

FAA argued that turning Manoel Island into a public heritage park would help avoid overdevelopment and related problems such as increased traffic and pollution.

What do you think of this new development?

A video shared to TikTok captures the moment a man walking the streets of Paceville, St Julian’s had a minor brush with a rental car as the pedestrian walked off the kerb.

The pedestrian did not see the car coming as he was seemingly busy looking at something else… but was quickly met with reality after his foot made contact with the front of the car, which was moving slowly up the road.
