An agreement has been drawn up between the Malta Standards Authority and the Local Government Department for regular inspections to start being held to ensure the safety of playgrounds.

The government said in a statement that after making the required inspections, the MSA inspectors would be expected to draw up individual reports on all playing fields for councils to know the state of the equipment and the place.

It would be the responsibility of councils to ensure that the shortcomings indicated in the report are addressed.
