Mayors complained to ministers about parking shortages and a lack of green spaces in their localities during an open Cabinet meeting on Monday.
Ministers gathered in the Fgura local council on Monday morning rather than the Auberge de Castille for a meeting that hosted several mayors and community leaders.
Fgura mayor Pierre Dalli praised the government’s investment in national infrastructure but complained that his dense urban locality has no major green open spaces to speak of. While residents in other localities had such recreational spaces, Fgura’s 13,000 residents still had none, he said.
Gudja mayor Marija Sara Vella said community policing had been a huge success in neighbouring localities and implored the government to extend it to Gudja as well.
