To weed or not to weed. This is the question that is upon many people's lips.

The Citadel in Victoria is, as many know, a world heritage site, apart from the unrivalled beauty that has been depicted in many a tourist's holiday picture.

It is now covered in unsightly weeds. Apart from the cosmetic damage that the weeds are causing, what about the structural damage? Over the past few years one would see a group of volunteers from the local Red Cross unit honing their skills in the art of abseiling and at the same time ridding the bastions of this eyesore.

I would like to ask the officials in charge of looking after this site the following questions:

Why has the Citadel been allowed to "grow" into this state?

Has the local Red Cross lost interest? Has there been a lack of funds/backing?

Surely, the one structure that had protected us for so many years deserves the right to be protected in this day and age!
