Issues which the SRA are aware of and seek to address are shown below.  We welcome feedback and suggestions.  Help us to co-ordinate the remedies which can make Sliema into a better, healthier home for all.

• Inadequate, unreliable and inconvenient public transport connections
• The lack of sufficient parking for residents, visitors, workers and deliveries
• Chronic congestion on the roads and minor streets during peak hours
• Toxic fumes from traffic that choke pedestrians and permeate homes
• 'Accident black spots' at certain junctions where speed bumps are required - UPDATE several new 'sleeping policemen' were installed in February 2010
• Speeding traffic on the arterial roads (particularly the Strand and the Front)
• Inappropriate allocation of traffic warden efforts (no enforcement at night)
• Noisy revellers and drunken behaviour in some areas especially during the summer
• Cluttered streets due to placement of street furniture or restaurant tables
• A lack of ramps at the kerb to allow the passage of prams or wheelchairs
• Broken pavements resulting from construction traffic and trenching
• Derelict properties, neglected public areas and dangerous building sites
• Illicit developments (made either without planning permission or not according to approved plans)
• Noise, dust and vibration from building works (often outside permitted hours)
• Cranes, trucks, cement mixers, skips obstructing roads and pavements
• Lack of safety precautions for overhead construction
• Litter and 'dog dirt' on the streets
• Rubbish collection times which are impractical for working people to observe
• Lack of, and abuse of, reserved parking spaces
• Absence of life rings, rescue ropes or exit steps on Sliema Creek promenade
• Vandalism and graffiti
