The Siggiewi council has filed an application with the planning authority to upgrade the playground at Triq it-Tabib Nikol Zammit and rename it Nalizpelra Playground, in remembrance of Times of Malta cartoonist Maurice Tanti Burlò.
Mr Tanti Burlo lived in Siġġiewi for nearly 30 years. He loved the village and it was not the first time that it featured in his cartoons.
The council is investing €160,000 in the project, €30,000 of which were obtained through the government’s fund for councils.
