The Marsa local council yesterday welcomed the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs' confirmation that no illegal immigrant open centre will be constructed at F.X. Attard School.

The local council last week raised the issue following rumours that this was to take place.

The local council said the rumours originated from residents in the school's vicinity.

It asked the ministry to increase security in the locality, claiming that the illegal immigrants housed at the existent open centre are breaking the law in public areas, especially where children play, on a daily basis.
