Up to a few decades ago Sliema Front was lined with beautiful two storey town houses. People living in adjacent side streets could view the promenade from their doorsteps. This is what one sees now if he/she wants to get a mere glimpse of the sky. Tower cranes dominate Sliema's skyline; multi storey buildings have now replaced the lovely houses characteristic of this area. Dust and debris cover the streets, not to mention the noise pollution created by jiggers and cranes. Heavy vehicles have wreaked havoc on the roads' infrastructure. Sliema has been turned into a continual building site. Do we have to endure this for more decades to come?
