Hi Steve, it will get done and everyone will forget the headaches 😁😁 I remember when they closed off the road along the side of the church in Marsaxlokk, after a little while it all came good. People don't like change but it needs to happen. Great video, Mosta is beautiful place. Cheers

I think everyone welcome the changes in Mosta, not so sure making it one way ?? Its the way its been done, left in a bad state for months with no work done dust and contractors trucks left blocking the road, and its all over the island the same !!

Hi, This was a disaster area back in April, it does seem to be taking forever, I have a friend who has a shop just down from the church and she said its been awful and a long time. I see you parked buy the school that's usually where we find parking. Sometimes we eat in the Olympia, midday snacks etc and it's very good, sometimes we buy pastries and sit in the garden at the back of the church it's nice and shaded. Yes we have dined in that restaurant and its always fantastic food, used to be one of the best on the island. Was great to look round Mosta again, thanks Steve. 👍🇲🇹😊

Hi, Steve. I took a fair bit of footage in Mosta centre four years ago that didn't make it into either my Gay Malta or Malta Temples videos. That right turn from the main street that you showed, now pedestrianised, was a main route, one way, with buses. The road from the left towards the dome was also a major bus route. The roundabout (island) at the intersection was what made it all work. It looks chaotic, and I'm not sure thsst the final result will be an improvement. Traffic congestion deters commercial activity. Thumbs up for the Premiere Pastizzeria. Good food at good price. I'v eaten at the Salla Maria - great food and atmosphere. Good choice. Thanks, Steve. Show more of everyday life in Malta.

It’s a nice looking place Steve but the poor residents seem to be under seige! What a racket from the bell ringing 🙉. If they’re not encouraging cars when it’s all finished, it makes you wonder what will happen with the place? People want to park up and shop and not all are on on their holidays with time to spare. I’m always a bit wary walking around builders in Malta. H&S seems quite a problem. I’m thinking of Jean Paul Sofia and the other poor men in the building trade. Enjoyed the video Steve thanks, and good to keep up with the latest developments ❤

FOR ENGLISHMAN THE BELLS TOLL 😊. OMG what a nightmare Steve 🚧. It seems the major problems are 'not enough workmen on the job' AND obviously no "completion date" on the contract? 🤔. Like you said, one has to feel sorry for all those su€€ering businesses. (4:34 = "Paulaner" is a German wheat beer 🍻 😋. and 6:32 = Re church clocks , if one looks closer one would notice that the one on the left shows the DATE 🗓 and the one on the right shows the TIME 🕒). THANKS Steve 🚶 🎥 👏. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

Wow! What a nightmare Steve! When I first started coming to Malta 30 years ago, Mosta was one of the first places I visited. But far fewer vehicles back then. It must be so difficult for the authorities trying to decide how to manage the traffic in these small towns. I'm sure it'll be lovely when it's finished - Rotunda Square - mainly pedestrianised, but why oh why does everything take so long to be completed in Malta! It was the same in Mellieha earlier in the year. I suppose it's the laid back attitude that us tourists love so much about Malta & the Maltese people! I'll perhaps give Mosta a miss this next time when I next visit Malta next month. I'll wait until it's finished! Thanks for another great video Steve!🙂

I love Mosta and go there a lot. The businesses are great. They sell things people actually need, unlike the tourist shops in the town where I live. And I can get a decent meal there for a good price. But going to Mosta now feels like visiting a friend who is being tortured on the rack. I go anyway. I hate these people who are destroying everything, just so they can make more money. Mosta was fine before they came. I've been in that restaurant, but only in the daytime. It is so nice and the people so nice. They are being buried alive.
