Could this busy Hamrun main road be converted into a pedestrian square?

Apr 23 2021 Share

Hamrun has become somewhat of a cultural hub in the centre of Malta, with its main road accommodating thousands of cars on a daily basis, but Hamrun mayor Christian Sammut has proposed an idea which may change the locality forever.

Xi jkunu l-KUMMENTI taghkom kieku 🤔🤔? ?Triq il-Kbira San Guzepp mill-Pjazza San Pawl sal-Knisja San Gejtanu terga…

Posted by Christian Sammut on Friday, 23 April 2021

The mayor posted an artistic render created by Steve Compagno which envisions the area from the San Gejtanu Church to St. Paul’s Square being converted into a pedestrian square and ‘prioritising the people.’

Albeit some raised some questions about potential traffic issues, the transformation seems to be welcomed by residents of the locality and could truly breathe new life into Hamrun.

The Malta Police Force has launched an investigation into the sale and distribution of fake COVID-19 tests to people wanting to go back to their country.

It was revealed that various falsification methods were being utilised, amongst them cases of forging old certificates, with criminal circles selling them.

Over the past few months, the Police took multiple people to court on the matter, amongst them 26-year-old Euredice Annelatt Olijfveld who plead guilty for trying to leave Malta via a false COVID-19 certificate.

The person in question was fined €500.
