The Local Councils Association has condemned 'aggression' suffered by the mayor of Paola, Dominic Grima on Wednesday.
Informed sources said the mayor was insulted and threatened in Cospicua Road by a man who wanted to drive cars out of a car dealership when resurfacing works were in progress.
The resurfacing marked the end of works by the Water Services Corporation. The man had complained that the road was closed for far too long.
The police had to intervene to calm matters.
