Zminijietna has urged the Minister for Local Councils to make pavements safer and accessible for all.
Zminijietna – Voice of the Left, urged all parties in this year’s Local Council elections to give importance to safe-accessible pavements and clean localities.
Zminijietna said that, “the number of senior citizens and persons with mobility problems in Malta is on the increase. This demographic trend should put pressure on local governance to invest in proper pavement infrastructure that is accessible for all users. Unsafe pavements restrict older and disabled people from going out.”
Zminijietna added that “it’s time for the Ministry responsible for Local Councils to invest in a pilot project with the aim to make pavements accessible for all users.”
With regards to e-scooters, Zminijietna – Voice of the Left said it supports the call for a ban of rental e-scooters. “Sadly, most users don’t abide by the regulations; obstructing pavements, driving the wrong way and ignoring safety procedures on the roads.”
