San Rocco blocked off as road surfacing begins

Maintenance work on the 'devastated' road surface in San Rocco Square, which should have been carried out years ago, finally began on Friday morning. Despite the requests and warnings from the Municipality and the Traffic Police, there were plenty of drivers who didn't avoid the area and buses were stuck in the traffic. There were comments from some passers-by along the lines of "They shouldn't be doing this work during the day", whereas others said, "As long as they're fixing the road at last, it doesn't matter if it's right in the middle of the day!"
