On one Saturday each month, children in Żebbuġ will have the opportunity to play freely in designated streets without the concern of traffic.
The streets closed to vehicles will change each month and will be announced on the Kunsill Lokali Ħaż-Żebbuġ Facebook page ahead of the second Saturday.
The first event will take place on April 12 from 1 pm to 4 pm.
This initiative, part of the Toroq Ħajjin project, is organised in collaboration with the Malta Foundation for the Wellbeing of Society. Its goal is to recreate the joy and nostalgia of childhoods spent playing safely in the streets.
Żebbuġ mayor Steve Zammit Lupi explained that the roads selected for the event were chosen by the children’s council, which proposed creating a safe space for kids to play while giving parents a chance to socialise and connect with neighbours.
Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, chair of the Malta Foundation for the Wellbeing of Society, highlighted that the aspirations of the children’s council will play a key role in building a stronger sense of community in Żebbuġ.
