Prosit ghal kull inizzjattiva li tista issir rigward il Housing Estates.Waqt li jien trabbejt gewwa is slums tal Belt u li ilni 38 sena nghoqod f`housing estate, gewwa Rahal, naf xi ftit x`ghandu isir sabiex nghollu il livel tal housing estates li f`dawn l-ahhar snin saru jixbhu lis slums..Dawn huma ftit suggerimenti li jien nixtieq inressaq. A. Hadd ma jista jonxor fuq barra, specjalment tal ground floor. B. Kull min ghandu xi pet, ghandu jirregistrah u izommu f`kondizzjoni tajjeb u li ma ikunx ta fastddju ghal girien. C. Il Frontu il back Gardens li huma tal komun, ghandhom jidgawdew min kullhadd u mhux ikkapparrawhom tas sular tisfel.D.Ghandu jitnehha kull haga imdendla barra ,bhal gysers u sattelliti. E.Fejn huwa possibbli ghandu jinbena sular iehor u jigi installat il lift.F. L awtorita konguta mal kunsilli tahdem sabiex il qtates stray li ghawn ma kull housing estate jigu ikkultivati, u isirulhom djar , u li ikun hemm min ikun responsabbli ghalihom. Li tnehhihom,le ghax jigu il grieden.G. Fejn huwa possibbli, ghandhom jithaffru gibjuni fil wesghat tal bini, sabiex jilqaw l-ilmijiet tax xita.Hemm hafna aktar xi tghejd ..ghal issa daqshekk.Nawguralkhom.
