TM’s vehicle and licensing units moving to A3 Towers

The vehicle and licensing units of Transport Malta are moving from Floriana to A3 Towers in Paola, on Monday.

In a statement, Transport Malta announced that clients who want to register, transfer, garage or scrap a vehicle must visit the authority’s new offices in Triq l-Arkata, Paola.

 Clients who need to apply for the driver’s license or renew it must also go to Paola.

Driving licence tests will remain in Floriana.

“For the first time Transport Malta will have a dedicated office for customer care.  The Authority is also providing better parking facilities with an area close to Addolorata Cemetery’s parking lot,” the authority said in a statement.

Transport Malta said it was working on a programme to have more of its services available online. 

“The public can use more of Transport Malta’ s services from the comfort of their homes,” it added.

Transport Malta chose the GWU-owned Paola Estates following an expression of interest for the rental of new office space.

The A3 Towers were constructed by the Montebello brothers' JPM Bros.

Paola Estates are a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWU Holdings Ltd. In 2007, the company held some €2 million in assets.

In 2010, the GWU company purchased 1,800 square metres of basement garage spaces for €302,818 at the A3 Towers, and the ground floor's showroom, cafeteria, and the first floor's showroom and second-floor 'mini market and pharmacy clinic' for €1.16 million; and then another 35 underlying garages for €285,349 in 2012.

Altogether, the GWU purchased the basement levels and first two floors of the Montebello's A3 Towers for €1.74 million.
