Today Sliema Local Council held a consultation meeting with residents Depiro Street, Old College Street and St Ignatious Junction.
Residents rightly spoke about various issues which are causing great inconvenience, such as waste thrown out at irregular hours from some residents of Belmonte Heights, noise from hostels hosting language students, broken pavement in Depiro Street due to construction at ex-Galaxy site, heavy vehicles passing from bridge at Old College Street.
I have been speaking on these issue for some time in the new Local Council, and residents today confirmed the problems in this area. As regards rubbish, upon my insistence, green wardens started monitoring the area some weeks ago. I will insist that such monitoring increases. Together with my fellow councillors I will ensure that the other issues are tackled as soon as possible.

Ex-Galaxy construction, Depiro Street (2)
With respect to the inconvenience caused to residents near the ex-galaxy development due to lack of proper hoarding, the Building Regulation Office within the Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs has informed the Sliema Local Council as follows:
"We have instructed our inspectors to check on this site. On the first visit, it transpired that scaffolding with dust netting was in place along Depiro Street and a small section on the side road that faces Belmonte Heights. This means that a substantial part of this side road was not protected with the required scaffolding and netting. The Contractor was required to block this missing part.
On a second visit to ensure that Contractor was taking the necessary action, his representative explained that they were about to start shifting the existing small section to a next section. This was still not acceptable and he was instructed to block all the remaining part of the side road. This work will be taken in hand next Monday and Tuesday where some of the scaffolding along Depiro will be dismantled and used to block the side road completely. This is acceptable as all finishing works on that area are complete and only the fixing of apertures and railings is outstanding. The Inspectors will be returning to the site either Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning".
Together with fellow councillors, I will be making necessary pressure to defend residents' rights.

Ex-Galaxy construction, Depiro Street
The development at the ex-Galaxy site has been causing inconvinience to residents for quite some time.
Currently, the ex-galaxy developers are breaking the environment regulations every day as there is no hoarding on development side which is opposite rear side of belmonte heights. This is not to mention inaccessible and broken pavements. Works are resulting in lots of dust to the great inconvenience to resident
The Building Regulations Office at the Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs has been informed about this matter.
