If you ask me local councils are a waste of time. Come to floriana at night time, everywhere you go, you can see huge cockroaches running around. I have never seen anybody come to exterminate them. Rubbish bins overflowing, rubbish bags left outside for over a week. Just the other day I saw a foreign lady jump up and scream, I asked her, did you just meet the local wildlife, and she said yes it was a huge cockroach. Did you hear the government saying that it wants to attract high class tourists on many occasions ? . I also check the air quality here in Malta on a daily basis, and mostly it is saying that the air quality is poor or hazardous two ones health. No wonder there are a lot of sick people with respiratory illnesses and asthma. Malta is only good for one thing and that is, PR and BS. I have lived in Japan Germany and the UK ,and I have been around the world. Sadly, Malta has to be one of the dirtiest places I've ever visited especially in the EU. And don't forget we are trying to attract high class tourists ? The only time you see a politician or somebody who is from the local council, is when there is an election. God how I wish I could teach these people how to govern.
