The government's decision to drop plans to build a fireworks depot on the cliffs near Dingli have been welcomed by Dingli Local Council.

In a statement, the Mayor welcomed the announcement, made yesterday by Home Affairs Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici.

He said the council had campaigned against the depot and the government's decision will mean that the people can safely enjoy the countryside in the area known as tal-Qaws.

The council is planning to set a heritage trail in the area.
