Following the explosion in the number of new buildings, less attention is being given to the old ones. Many of these seem to have been forgotten and their maintenance ignored. Such buildings can create a hazard for the people passing by. In the area around St. Paul’s Bay we were surprised to find many old, abandoned buildings that are falling down or that are not in a good, acceptable state. Pieces of stone from balconies were found on the pavement and in some cases it wasn’t safe to pass underneath the balconies. People actually had to cross to the other side of the road to be safe!! Owners of such places should have the legal obligation to keep their properties up to health and safety standards.
