Gharb Local Council is celebrating Car Free Day 2012 tomorrow, Sunday, the 23rd of September 2012 and will be organising activities to raise awareness on the impact of cars on our lives, the economy and the environment.

Forming part of a Euroe-wide campaign, Car Free Day is a great opportunity to reflect on our excessive dependence on cars and the choices that can be made to alleviate this dependence.

With over 743 vehicles per 1,000 population, Malta ranks 5th in the world and 2nd in Europe when it comes to car ownership.

The activities in Gharb will be centred around the newly refurbished Pjazza Zjara tal-Madonna, the varied activities and entertainment arranged will include among others local singers, games and Zumba fitness with Wesley and Ilona, all in all, a fun day for all ages to enjoy.

The area around the square will be closed for traffic and the Council is urging everyone to go along and participate in ‘Gharb Car Free Day 2012.’
