The new Mintoffian and idiotic Mellieha mayor is cutting costs to save money for his pet project – the cable car between Mellieha church and Mellieha Bay.

What about St Julian’s and Sliema’s promenade? It seems it hasn’t been cleaned at all over the past months. Up to April I used to encounter around 630am, an older man with a cleaning machine, sort of cleaning the central part of the pavement. But not anymore.

Can’t the local council and government motivate some people on the ‘ir-relief’ or others looking for extra work to scrub or power wash the pavements once a week, against extra cash of course.

Its rather a health and safety concern, with small children running about and playing in the sand at that time.

The same can be said of Valletta. It is NOT being cleaned. It is filthier by the day. I used to see mechanical cleaning systems up to some months ago. I haven’t seen them recently. I might be wrong but Valletta IS dirtier lately.

This shows complete disregard to health and safety.

What about the separation of the public (especially young children) from moving equipment, even if this was moving very slowly? A toddler can easily find his way between the wheels of this equipment in a couple of seconds that his parent might have been searching for something in the cooler.

This is madness and irresponsibility. I would like to see the occupational risk assessment for this task.

I think the caption merits a correction. The beaches in Mellieha are NOT being cleaned – they are simply smoothened every morning. I have never seen such dirty beaches as this year in Mellieha.
