After a local community Facebook page ‘Belt Valletta’ posted an image of one of the capital city’s streets filled with tabled and chairs, many took to the comments section to reveal that the condemnation of the practice is far from unanimous.
The photo, captioned ‘Festival of tables and chairs’, drew in the critique of many trying to make their way through the capital city and being unable to manoeuvre properly.
Some lamented that pushchair access was being limited, with others slamming authorities for allowing such practices to take place. One even compared it to a new Paceville.
However, others compared it to foreign cities, arguing that it was pretty common and that people shouldn’t really complain.
‘Some residents think that just because they used to live there, Valletta is theirs’ said one. ‘When Valletta was dead, we complained, Now that it is full of people and life, we still complain’, said another.
What is your take on this?
