About Malta Gone Wild
Making everyday problems harder to ignore
Malta Gone Wild is an independent community platform created to highlight the everyday issues affecting residents across Malta and Gozo.
Rubbish left on pavements, illegal dumping, blocked walkways, neglected public spaces, pollution, excessive noise, irresponsible parking and antisocial behaviour can quickly become accepted as “normal” when they happen repeatedly.
They shouldn’t be.
Malta Gone Wild gives residents a simple place to document what they are seeing, where it is happening and how it is affecting their community.
Why Malta Gone Wild exists
Many people report the same problems again and again, yet often feel that little changes.
A single complaint can disappear.
A collection of photographs and reports showing the same recurring issues across different streets and localities creates a much clearer picture.
The aim of Malta Gone Wild is not simply to complain. It is to:
- make recurring community problems more visible;
- document what residents are experiencing;
- highlight areas where better maintenance or enforcement may be needed;
- encourage greater accountability;
- promote cleaner, safer and more accessible public spaces; and
- give people across Malta and Gozo a place to share legitimate local concerns.
Community reports
Members of the public can submit reports about issues in their locality.
A report can include photographs, a description, the locality and the specific area where the problem was observed.
Reports may cover issues including:
- rubbish and illegal dumping;
- pollution and dirty streets;
- parking and pavement obstruction;
- noise and nightlife;
- neglected public spaces;
- tourist or antisocial behaviour; and
- other recurring problems affecting residents and communities.
Focus on the problem, not the person
Malta Gone Wild is not intended to shame or target individuals.
Reports should focus on the issue itself rather than identifying or attacking the people who may be involved.
Where identifying information is unnecessary, users are encouraged to avoid or obscure faces, vehicle registration plates and other personal information.
Content may be edited, blurred, rejected or removed where necessary.
Independent and unofficial
Malta Gone Wild is an independent community initiative.
It is not operated by, affiliated with or acting on behalf of the Government of Malta, local councils, police, enforcement authorities or other public bodies.
Submitting something to Malta Gone Wild does not replace reporting an issue to the relevant authority where official action is required.
Responsible reporting
We want Malta Gone Wild to remain useful, credible and fair.
Users are expected to submit information honestly and in good faith. Reports or comments that are abusive, threatening, defamatory, deliberately misleading, excessively personal or otherwise inappropriate may be removed.
For further information about publication, moderation and responsibility for user-submitted material, please read our Disclaimer.
See it. Report it.
Malta and Gozo belong to all of us.
If something in your street, neighbourhood or public space should not simply be accepted as normal, document it and report it.
See it. Report it. Make it visible.
