Taking to the streets, many residents from Sliema protested against the lack of enforcement when it comes to waste management, e-scooter abuse and other social issues impacting the localities.
The citizens, who met at Fond Għadir, Tower Road Sliema, voiced their frustration about the state of their locality.
With tables and chairs on pavements, double parkings rendering the roads into single lane use, lack of parking, apartments being occupied beyond their capacity, drainage leakages on bays and in the surrounding waters and much, much more.
Speaking on behalf of the Sliema Residents’ Association, Astrid Vella said that ‘over the last 10 years, we have increased with almost 3000 apartments, over a 100 permits for restaurants and bars, and have proposals for 11 more hotels.’
‘We don’t need these. We need more funding for our local councils. We are accommodating the tourists that the rest of the country benefits from, but we’re not getting more budget.’
