Building Work

Yeah I am in a simmilar boat, I would like to know this as well if anyone knows.

Does anyone know where you can buy Local Wine from the cellar door?
For many years we bought from the co-operative at Burmarrad but they are long gone!
I know of the place near Dingli & there is some nice wine from Gozo made by a co-operative but we don't know where to buy it in Malta.
We want to support the Maltese wine industry & not buy the cheap imports.
We also want to buy from the small producers & not the larger Maltese Brands

Does anyone know the "Rules" around building/construction work in Malta?
My understanding is that there are some kind of restrictions in the summer months?
What dates does this cover?
What is restricted?
What do you do to complain?
Currently I have a jack hammer at the back of me starting up around 7am & drilling in front of me from as early as 6.30.

speak to local council - they will tell you regs in your area

Snap!

We have to suffer at the moment from daybreak to dusk, 7 days a week (even this past holiday) as they demolished an old terraced cottage and are now digging / excavating rock for the garages prior to building more flats...

We've had the exact same thing the past few months. Woken up at 6.30 am with a jackhammer literally outside our wall by our heads.

We've got cracks appearing all around the flat, which apparently they'll fix but no one knows when. We also had everything falling off our shelves, came home one morning (as we had no idea this was going to happen, weren't warned or anything) to a living room covered in glass!

Rules???..that's funny!! The rules in Malta are that there are no rules when it comes to common courtesy.

I suspect its the same works! Are you near the Preluna area?

I thought it might be when I read above but we're near the Plaza hotel a bit further along towards St Julians. I guess the building work really is just everywhere!

Hi,

You are probably referring to the building on Nazarene St,just behind the Plaza Hotel. That was really bad over the last months. It even caused light bulbs to fall out of the sockets. Now that the excavation work is finished it is the crane making noise!

How do the Maltese say : Only in Malta.

Cheers

PS We are having a beach picknick just below the il-Torri Tower on Tower road. We will be on the rocks from 7 pm onwards. If anybody is interested just come along with some food and drink.Take the steps going down next to the kiosk next to the old Tower on the corner above the new Exiles building.

I will be there but I may be a bit late, I have a server upgrade to perform starting at 5ish.
