The Isle of MTV concert is held annually on the granaries in Floriana, Malta. I think that this concert should not be held at this loaction for the following reasons:

1. The granaries are a historical venue which is being severely damaged through this event. Metal is dragged, the large stone granaries slabs are jumped upon, jolted, broken, and used as workbenches for cutting wood during the preparations resulting in chased slits cut into them.

2. The granaries are very close to residential units. From days in advance all parking is prohibited and people living in the vicinity are forced to show an identification document to enter their own residences. They cannot accommodate any guests on these days since access to the latter is prohibited.

3. The concert leaves a lot of litter. Due to numerous number people attending and the large uncontrolled mounts of alcohol and drug consumption the people lose control of themselves. They urinate, defecate and vomit on the doorsteps of private residences, despite the large number of disposable toilets. A large number of police officers and other officers are employed for the sole purpose of preventing people doing such things. However due to the large number of offenders they do not succeed.

4. Floriana has a dwindling and ageing population. Though such events may seem to revive the city they have the opposite effect: they discourage the few remaining people living in the city away due to the inconvenience, noise pollution and harassment.

For the above reasons I think that the Isle of MTV Concert should not be held on the granaries in Floriana but somewhere more appropriate whereby damage to historical monumenta and nuisance to the inhabitants is avoided.
