The Siggiewi council has called on the planning authority to take action against environmental abuse by a cow farm in an area known as tal-Qanpiena.

The council said there were several holes in the farm’s boundary wall out of which dirty liquid and material was seeping. Some of this liquid and material was ending up in fields.

The council said it had been complaining about this abuse for years but no action has so far been taken.

Mayor Karol Aquilina said the situation was unacceptable because what was seeping out was dangerous to the health.
