Cigarettes on the beach
Last Saturday, 'That's Rubbish', an NGO, carried out a beach clean-up from Fortizza to the area past Surfside lido, in collaboration with Sliema Local Council.
A total of 65 Kg of cigarette butts and other waste were collected. A similar clean up at the end of June collected 40kg of cigarette butts and other waste.
More effort by everyone has to be made to reduce, rather than increase rubbish. This includes the Cleansing Department, whose workers have to catch up with the increased volumes of waste, and, more importantly, some swimmers and bathers who do not bother to use the various bins which are available. Not to mention those who allow their dogs to pooh on the beach.
Sliema Local Council is consistently monitoring the matter together with the Cleansing Department. We recently toured the Exiles beach to look into waste-related matters. We are also currently looking into the possibility of distributing portable ash-trays.
Feedback from all is more than welcome.

Bicycle Racks
Four new bicycle racks have been installed along the Sliema promenade, from Exiles to Ghar id-Dud, and near the pedestrianized Bisazza Street.
This will make life easier for cyclists, and will hopefully help contribute to the greening of Sliema.
A big thanks to workers at Sliema Local Council for installing the racks.
In the meantime, in the coming weeks Sliema Local Council will be meeting George Debono, author of the mobility plan for Sliema on behalf of the Today Public Policy Institute.

Green Wardens
Sliema Local Council is extending green wardens' operations, focusing on inconveniences such as dumping of waste, littering of dog dirt especially at beaches, and others. Traffic wardens are also enforcing against those who park their cars at beaches such as under the Tower area.
BBQs
Sliema Local Council is discussing the possibility of an introduction of a bye-law to regulate BBQs in the locality, so as to ensure that areas are cleaned up and as little inconvenience as possible is created. Anyone who would like to send me concrete proposals on this is invited to email me at mbrig@hotmail.com
