Sliema Ferries: When Daily Disruption Becomes the New Normal
For residents living around the Sliema Ferries, what should be one of Malta’s most attractive waterfront areas is increasingly becoming a source of daily frustration.

Is this the new trend?

Unable to walk on Sliema pavement
This is not just an issue of rubbish making Sliema look dirty. It is an accessibility and public safety issue. When bags of rubbish are piled across the pavement, where exactly are people supposed to walk? Parents with pushchairs cannot simply squeeze past.
