Council plans ‘discover Valletta’ commercial branch
It took almost three years and over €19,000 for a consulting
services company to devise a marketing plan for the city and
point out it needs to be revived. The study, commissioned
by the Valletta local council was launched yesterday and
concluded Valletta needed “rejuvenation and refurbishment”.

Manure on the streets of Valletta – Andre Borg
This letter to the editor notes the urgent need to enact
by-laws that would oblige horse-cabs circulating Valletta to
be equipped with manure-collecting bags. This would spare
our roads from endless faeces and stink not fit for a
capital city. This practice has long been in force in
respectable cities such as Vienna, whereas in Prague, the
horse-cab driver cleans up each time his horse dumps.

People first in heritage conservation – John Ebejer
It is people we are talking about. It is people who are
being inconvenienced, some more than others, because there
is no proper parking provision at the lower end of Valletta.
In this contest, it is absurd for my colleague to argue that
the Evans site should not be redeveloped because of some
presumed importance of some building remains that may or may
not exist

Works on Valletta lift start
Workers have started laying the foundations of the new lift
to the Upper Barrakka in Valletta. Chris Paris, CEO of the
Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation, said excavations
started three weeks ago. Workers today started pouring the
concrete of the foundations for the free standing lift which
will be 53 metres high. The lift will consist of two
cabins, each with a capacity of 21 passengers. The
project, costing €2.5m, will be completed by the end of next
year. It is co-funded by the EU.
