Marsa local council said today it was calling on the authorities to take all necessary action to stop regular inconveniences being caused by migrants who live at the Marsa open centre.

The council said it was referring especially to the areas where children and other residents of Marsa met.

"Actions that breach the public peace are unacceptable for the council, including indecency directed at those using public spaces," the council said.

The council also called on the authorities to confirm that the F.X. Attard school building would not be used as another open centre.

Should that actually be the case, the council said it would protest strongly and take all action allowed by law.
