Malta's government overrules Mosta Local Council's decision to end weekend pedestrianisation of Mosta Square.

Malta's government has overruled the Mosta Local Council's decision to end weekend pedestrianisation of Mosta Square, keeping it closed to traffic on Fridays and Saturdays. The square's partial pedestrianisation, introduced for emission reduction and community space, faced complaints about increased traffic and business decline. Despite public consultations pending, Transport Malta has extended pedestrianisation until the end of October, sparking criticism from the council for prioritising policy over community needs.
