Mosta Square opening till end of January

Transport Malta is committed to ensuring that public squares become more accessible to people. Starting last week, a formal process was initiated to extend the hours on Fridays and Saturdays from 7:00 PM to midnight, allowing Mosta Square to continue being enjoyed by families. The response over the past two months to the reduced traffic closure on Friday and Saturday evenings has been positive.

This arrangement was communicated to the Department of Information on Friday, October 25, 2024, and will be published in tomorrow's edition of the Government Gazette (photo attached).

It is unfortunate that an important initiative like this is encountering obstacles from the Local Council, rather than support, especially given that there appears to be a national consensus in favour of fewer vehicles on the roads and greater accessibility for the public.

Transport Malta remains open to constructive dialogue to introduce more initiatives that discourage the use of cars in squares and enhance access for those who wish to enjoy the beautiful squares of Maltese and Gozitan towns and villages
