The issue is, no one wants to take responsibility for the collapse, which has damaged two vehicles parked in St George’s Street, St Paul’s Bay. 

Lovin Malta reported on how one of the car owners was left stuck in legal limbo since the local council and the proprietor of the land bordering the collapsed wall both denied responsibility.

“The result: vehicles remain stuck under the rubble which is also left strewn across a long stretch of road and pavement and the remaining wall in danger of further collapse. Who cares!” they lamented.

“Residents are in limbo, with our vehicles destroyed, no one seems to know who the wall belongs to and who is responsible for it, and both sides are doing their best in denying responsibility,” they claimed.

“A wall which keeps collapsing bit by bit, being in danger of further collapse and injuring someone in the process and further damaging our vehicles. And no one seems to care!”

They appealed to both parties to resolve the legal issue so that they can perhaps salvage what remains from their vehicles.

Lovin Malta also reached out to the landowner on the allegations, who said that the wall does not fall under his responsibility.

Meanwhile, upon reaching out to the local council, it explained how it had previously sent a letter to the landowner next door to tell him of the danger, even if it is not the responsibility of the council, back in May 2022.

Do you think the collapsed wall will be cleaned up in 2023?
