Zabbar being a slow city from a local’s perspective
Being part of the local council of zabbar gave me a better perspective of what i can do to help my community , especially being appointed the environmental role . I can definitely say that when I meet with people I do listen to different stories and opinions particularly the elder generation. In my opinion comparing my life to theirs it shows a contrast how life came fast paced.
Ideas which stood out for me where that our village square will be off limits to cars being parked and utilise this area we can do an outdoor cafe overlooking the parish church , where people can wind down after a day from work or school . Another idea is to use the newly done park and plan events to gather the community and socialise were families can enjoy and children can play without their parents worrying for the cars .
From my perspective as a local council should encourage using a car free space, getting together as a community and invest more in adding more trees and plants while ensuring they will be well maintained .
