- Car park tal-Knisja: Kif tafu, il-car park tal-Knisja qed ikun mimli, speċjalment matul il-ġimgħa. Kellna wkoll diversi każijiet fejn vetturi jibqgħu fil-car park għal żmien sostanzjali u, f’xi każijiet, saħansitra jostakolaw l-aċċess għall-oħrajn. Peress li din hija art privata u mhux art pubblika, l-awtoritajiet ħafna drabi jkollhom idejhom marbuta fir-rigward tal-użu tagħha.
- Għalhekk, wara diskussjonijiet twal u bl-approvazzjoni tal-Kurja, ser tiġi installata barriera fid-daħla tal-car park. Dawk li jużaw il-car park ser iħallsu ta’ dan is-servizz, bil-għan li nevitaw l-użu mhux awtorizzat ta’ din l-art privata.
- Nixtiequ niċċaraw li dan il-ħlas ma japplikax għal dawk li jiġu għall-Quddiesa, kif ukoll għal persuni li joffru servizz lill-Parroċċa. Nifhmu li din il-miżura tista’ toħloq xi inkonvenjent lil diversi persuni, speċjalment lil dawk li joqogħdu fl-inħawi u li għal ħafna snin kienu mdorrijin jipparkjaw b’xejn f’din l-art privata.
- Għalhekk, ser issir laqgħa ta’ konsultazzjoni għal dawk li huma interessati li jkollhom aċċess bi ħlas għal perjodu ta’ żmien, minnflok ma jkollhom iħallsu kull darba li joħorġu. Il-laqgħa ser issir nhar it-Tlieta, 29 ta’ Settembru fis-6:00pm fis-Sala tal-Konferenzi.
- Fl-aħħar nett, nixtiequ ninfurmawkom li l-qliegħ kollu minn din l-inizjattiva, wara li jitnaqqsu l-ispejjeż relatati magħha, ser imur fil-fond tal-karità tal-Parroċċa. L-iskop wara din l-idea hi li nagħmlu użu tajjeb mill-propjeta’ li għandna għal għan nobbli.

- CHURCH CAR PARK: As you know, the Church car park is usually full, especially during the week. We have also had several instances where vehicles remain in the car park for a considerable length of time and, in some cases, even obstruct access for others. Since this is private property and not public land, the authorities are often limited in what they can do regarding its use.
- Therefore, following lengthy discussions and with the approval of the Curia, a barrier will be installed at the entrance to the car park. Those who use the car park will be charged for this service, with the aim of preventing the unauthorised use of this private property. We would like to clarify that this charge will not apply to those attending Mass, nor to people providing a service to the Parish.
- We understand that this measure may cause some inconvenience to various people, especially those living in the area who, for many years, have been accustomed to park free of charge on this private property. For this reason, a consultation meeting will be held for those who are interested in having paid access for a period of time, instead of having to pay each time they use the car park. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, 29th September at 6:00pm at the Conference Hall
- Finally, we would like to inform you that all proceeds from this initiative, after deducting the expenses related to it, will go towards the Parish’s charity fund.
- The aim behind this initiative is to make good use of the property we have for a noble cause.
