GBC calls for a stop to “abusive action” by Mellieha Mayor

Email item Email item Print item Print item

The Gozo Business Chamber said in a statement this morning that it “would like to express its utter dismay at the fact that the Mayor of Mellieha has ordered that the road leading from Ghadira Bay to Mellieha at the roundabout of The Sea Bank Hotel is closed to anyone trying to access it, except for residents of Mellieha and any other person producing a “special pass” issued by the council of Mellieha.”

The GBC said that “all traffic is being diverted by local wardens through the narrow one way road passing through Popeye Village, with the consequence that traffic coming from Gozo is being congested in this area and the average trip for us Gozitans has increased by another 15 to 30 extra minutes.”

The Chamber said that it has had complaints from its members that because of congestion, “which at times lasted of more than an hour and which have been highlighted even on the local media, they missed their flights and other important appointments that they had in Malta. It would also be impossible for an ambulance to enter the area should an accident happen on that road.”

The Chamber concluded by saying that it “is therefore calling on the authorities to stop immediately this abusive action being taken by the Mayor of Mellieha and to open the road to the village of Mellieha without any further delay.”

      yesterday the honourable mellieha major was on a local tv station and he stated that entering politics means to serve the people! People my foot! To serve all the people means to find solutions to the problems not finding an easy way out! First of all Mellieha main road was never to be made one way especially at this point in time. It should have been left dual way with no parking permitted! At least for light cars were to be permitted through mellieha! Dear gozitans rest assured that the mellieha major is with us! Sending the wardens to fork out nonsense parking tickets to our cars left at cirkewwa! Keep it up!

      Sa fejn naf jien, artrerji prin?ipali ma jaqg?ux ta?t il-kunsilli. Allura kif is-sindku tal-Mellie?a jidde?iedi li jag?laq it-triq prin?ipali g?al dawk kollha li mhumiex residenti tal-Mellie?a? Mela jien ma n?allasx it-taxxi u l-li?enzji daqs kull Mellie?i?
