Malta deserves better
Malta and Gozo are places we are proud to call home. But many residents are increasingly frustrated by problems that have become part of everyday life: rubbish left out for days, blocked pavements, dirty streets, excessive noise, irresponsible parking, neglected public spaces, pollution and antisocial behaviour.
Too often, people feel that reporting these issues leads nowhere — or that the same problem simply returns a few days later.
Malta Gone Wild was created to make these everyday problems visible.
See it. Report it.
If something in your locality is affecting residents, pedestrians or the environment, you can report it here.
Reports can include issues such as:
- Rubbish and illegal dumping
- Dirty or neglected streets
- Pavements and public spaces being obstructed
- Noise and nightlife problems
- Pollution
- Tourist or antisocial behaviour
- Over Development or other Development Issues
- Other recurring problems affecting your neighbourhood
Photos help show what is actually happening, while the locality and exact area help build a clearer picture of where problems are repeatedly occurring.
This isn’t about attacking people
Malta Gone Wild is about highlighting problems, not targeting individuals. We want reports to focus on the issue itself and what is happening, where it is happening and how it affects the community.
Whenever possible, avoid including identifiable people, private information or unnecessary personal details. Vehicle registration plates should also be obscured where they are not relevant to the report. It is also important to blur the faces of people, even if they are the culprits of the issue being reported. Exposed private parts should also be obscured where visible — unfortunately, we’ve had plenty of those too! 🙈
Why report it?
One isolated complaint can easily disappear. Dozens of reports showing the same problem, in the same street or locality, tell a much clearer story.
Over time, Malta Gone Wild aims to document recurring problems across Malta and Gozo and give residents a simple place to show what they are experiencing in their own neighbourhoods. The purpose isn’t simply to complain.
It’s to make problems harder to ignore — and hopefully encourage better streets, better enforcement and better public spaces for everyone.
Your community. Your report.
Seen something that shouldn’t be accepted as normal?
Note that reports should be made directly to the respective authorities. MGW does not submit reports or complaints on behalf of individuals.
MGW provides a platform where members of the public can highlight issues affecting their communities and share information of public interest. Where appropriate, we may also provide contact details or links to the relevant authorities so that residents can report matters directly.
For urgent matters, safety concerns or suspected illegal activity, please contact the appropriate authority directly rather than relying on a submission to MGW. Find the useful contacts!

Another Piece of Sliema’s Public Space Taken Over — Who Approved This?
Another sizeable structure has appeared on The Strand in Sliema, this time outside the Carlo Stivala development at the corner of Triq il-Lunzjata. And residents are asking a very simple question: Who approved this? The structure extends over a substantial part of the pavement immediately beside a busy junction. This is not some quiet side…

Malta Needs Better-Trained, Better-Equipped Police and Far More of Them on Our Streets
This summer should have been a wake-up call. St Julian’s, Paceville, Swieqi, Sliema and Gżira were bursting at the seams. Drunken behaviour, shouting in residential streets, public urination, fights, parties, drugs, vandalism and general anti-social behaviour became an almost routine part of summer life in some of Malta’s busiest areas. And far too often, residents…

Comino Gets a Reprieve: Tribunal Suspends Tree-Removal Permit After Years of Public Resistance
Comino has been given an important — if temporary — reprieve. The Environment and Planning Review Tribunal (EPRT) has suspended the environmental permit that would have allowed preparatory works for the proposed Six Senses Comino development, including the removal and transplantation of hundreds of trees and shrubs. The suspension means those works cannot proceed while…

Two Years Behind a Fence: Who Is Responsible for Tigné’s Rotting Walkway? Nearly two years after the Tigné Point walkway was closed to the public, the fencing is still there, the bridge is still inaccessible and the photographs now tell their own story: rust, corrosion and deterioration. The Belvedere walkway and suspended pedestrian route at…

Malta’s Most Endangered Species: Fresh Tarmac
In Malta, freshly laid tarmac doesn’t come with a lifespan. It comes with a countdown. Four months ago, Triq Għajn Dwieli — the road linking Paola with Cottonera — received some fresh asphalt in the run-up to the general election. It looked smooth. It looked clean. It looked almost… permanent. Rookie mistake. The excavators are…

The calls for Planning Authority Executive Chairperson Johann Buttigieg to leave his post are no longer coming from one corner of civil society. MGW count: at least 37 distinct organisations, associations and political parties have now publicly called for Johann Buttigieg to resign or be removed from the Planning Authority.
