Residents in Naxxar and San Pawl tat-Tarġa have presented a petition to their local council protesting about a circus due to be set up in the middle of a residential area.

In the petition, the residents said that the “circus and zoo” was expected to remain in their locality for two months and well into the festive season. They argued that it posed a health hazard and major inconvenience.

Over the past six days, over 260 signatures were collected.

After residents protested last week, the location of the circus was switched from a field bordering St Paul Street, a main road, to the parking area in front of the former trade fair grounds.
