The village square in Zebbug will reportedly go completely car-free this evening in order to attempt to promote open spaces in the village.
On Thursday, the Zebbug Local Council published a Facebook post revealing that Misraħ San Filep and Triq Sciortino will be turned into pedestrian zones and closed to all traffic between the hours of 5pm and 11pm. The council stated that this initiative is being taken to allow village families to enjoy the open spaces and went on to encourage residents to visit the square via bicycle or on foot.
The government had also announced similar activities in villages like Zejtun, Dingli, Qrendi, Zurrieq, Mqabba and Safi, with Zejtun set to be the first Maltese village to have temporarily pedestrianised squares.
