Is Willie Mangion going to build a new garage out of his own pocket since he evidently has not found one ready made?

If he lives in Sliema, which I think he does, can he let us know how long it takes him to find parking, and while he’s about it whether, he’s paid for that too?

Anybody who needs a garage would do the logical thing and go to a couple of estate agents asking them to find one and while saving 40,000 grand, the garage would be found in a couple of weeks.

In less than a year my husband and I had bought a house perfect to raise a family in.

That includes time spent house-hunting, almost buying two other houses but then were prevented from buying them twice (someone actually tried to sell us a house that was not his to sell), and a four month contract of sale period.

Willie Mangion spent two years garage-hunting over a minuscule island before he had any success.

Don’t you need a MEPA permit to change the use of a garage (construed to mean exclusively for parking cars) into a recording studio?

Garages are essential to any project; to dampen the impact of additional cars created by the same development, and in so doing alleviate parking problems in the neighborhood.

More so, if they want to build a complex over a large area, shouldn’t the local plan be revised first?

And Willie gets to keep his iced bun for the foreseeable future too:

“Dr Bonnici said William Mangion, a singer engaged as government consultant, was involved in the project and would give technical advice.”

Most tellingly, “it needs a lot of work”. Looks like somebody’s setting public opinion up for the no-doubt-already-negotiated contract extension.

Lejber logic.

It took Willie Mangion the same amount of time to find a garage a few metres away as it took to build the new power station had it been started and finished on time.
