The Sliema Local Council has been actively addressing various community concerns and initiatives:
Waste Management Challenges
Sliema has faced significant issues with waste management, leading Mayor John Pillow to implement a “name-and-shame” campaign to address the problem. This approach has sparked discussions on effective waste management strategies within the community.
Cultural Events
The Sliema Arts Festival made a notable return from July 19 to 21, 2024, featuring art celebrations at Independence Gardens, Exiles Beach, and the Sliema Promenade. The event was organized by the Sliema Local Council in collaboration with various partners, offering free entrance to the public.
Infrastructure Developments
In July 2024, the Tourism Zones Regeneration Agency, in collaboration with the Sliema Local Council, continued refurbishment works on the benches at Ġnien Indipendenza (Independence Garden), enhancing the area’s appeal for both residents and visitors.
Public Transport Adjustments
During the Balluta Feast in July 2024, several public transport routes in Sliema were temporarily diverted to accommodate festivities. The Local Council provided timely updates to ensure residents and visitors were informed about these changes.
Community Engagement
The Sliema Local Council maintains an active presence on social media platforms, such as Facebook, to engage with residents, address concerns, and disseminate information about local events and initiatives.
These efforts reflect the council’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life in Sliema through cultural, infrastructural, and community-focused initiatives.
