During a general meeting organised for GRTU members on Thursday 28th April with the participation of representatives from the Ministry for Infrastructure, Transport & Communications and Transport Malta (TM) regarding projects being carried out in Valletta, it was agreed that the GRTU will continue to mediate in talks between its members and the Ministry over measures to reduce inconveniences caused by the said projects.
An issue that was highlighted during the meeting was the distribution times for goods into Valletta and it transpired that there is a need to change the delivery times and days while works on the Valletta projects are being carried out. GRTU, at present is commissioning a survey among its members, and intends to discuss the results with the Ministry for Infrastructure, Transport & Communications and other Authorities concerned.
GRTU is active at local level and has its committees within the localities composed of members of the locality itself, but in certain areas it also has committees at street level. GRTU will be meeting the authorities in the coming weeks and will issue the results of the survey carried out with the business community on which it will base its discussions to alter distribution days and times.
