Following the explosion in the number of new buildings, less attention is being given to the old ones. Many of these seem to have been forgotten and their maintenance ignored. Such buildings can create a hazard for the people passing by. In the area around St. Paul’s Bay we were surprised to find many old, abandoned buildings that are falling down or that are not in a good, acceptable state. Pieces of stone from balconies were found on the pavement and in some cases it wasn’t safe to pass underneath the balconies. People actually had to cross to the other side of the road to be safe!! Owners of such places should have the legal obligation to keep their properties up to health and safety standards.

Tracking along ‘Wied Għammieq’ valley, limits of Kalkara one immediately notices lots of dump solid waste polluting the area and obstructing the valley flow. Most of the excess rain water which pours down through this valley leads to the nearby sea. However, apart from polluting the valley, the thrown scattered dump and solid waste dissolves in the flowing rain water contaminating the area. This will surely lead to further damage on the various local growing and living flora and fauna of the valley. People tracking along the valley are also at risk as there is lots of broken glass along the whole valley. Also solid waste like washing machines, dishwashers, even shampoo dumped in the valley can all contain phosphorous that dissolve in water and goes down into the nearby sea affecting the local marine ecosystem. On contacting the Local Council, I recommended more vigilance, law-enforcement and regular clean ups.

Dan ir-ritratt juri l-qagħda li jinsab fiha Wied Blandun. Hawnhekk naraw kif dan il-post hekk sabiħ qed iservi ta’ post fejn in-nies jgħarmu l-iskart tagħhom. Dan il-wied jinstab bejn il-Fgura u Għajn Dwieli. Dan huwa wieħed mill-isbah widien naturali f’Malta fejn wieħed jista jirrilassa fis-sbuħija tan-natura, iżda dan qiegħdin nitilfuh minħabba li mhux qed nieħdu ħsiebu. Sabiex insebħu dan il-wied għandna; inwaħħlu cameras biex min jinqabad jeħel multa, ikun hemm għaqdiet volontarji li jnaddfu dan il-wied regolarment u jkomplu jitħawlu iktar siġar biex inkomplu nsebħu dan il-post. Finalment, irridu naraw li dawn l-affarijiet isiru u ma jaqawx fuq widnejn torox !

Want to have a bath with a view?!! ….. Easy, follow the main road to Marsalforn from Victoria and there you are. You can even have company. Two bath tubs, one inside the other, in the valley, on the right hand side of the road. To compliment, two car batteries, perhaps to have some light? What’s going on? Aren’t people aware of the Civic Amenity Sites or free pickup from our homes? Was it easier and closer to dump here? Why are people not proud enough of the countryside? Shouldn’t harsh penalties be enforced? Lot of money, taxes we pay, are being spent to clean up such dumping. Costs increase and damage done gets worse with time. Attention: a countryside full of relics will not be nice to walk through. Let’s all put in our efforts to, educate, report, and give a hand where necessary to stop dumping and littering.

As I was riding my bike, I saw this old, dusted, damaged car in the middle of a field. I was shocked that the car was surrounded with flowers. It looked like nature provided a tomb for this car that was not ‘scrapped’ properly. Even though nature remedied the ugly with flowers, I worry that others will follow this example and use this field as a scrap yard in the future.
