The only new legal parking site for caravans in Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq reeks of foul smells, is full of dust and dangerous for children, owners have complained.
From July 1, caravan and camper owners need a permit to occupy any space on the coast for a maximum of three days in new legislation which has upset several owners.
Times of Malta spoke to five caravan owners who paid for their permit but still did not park at the designated site.
“They want to put us in Magħtab,” caravan owner Simone Runza said.
In Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, where many caravans have traditionally parked, the Naxxar council has designated the site known as il-Għoqot as the only area where caravan owners can station their vehicles.
But the owners are unhappy with the area, saying it is located just opposite the entrance of the Magħtab waste complex.
Only two caravans were parked at the site when Times of Malta visited the area on Monday morning. Around a dozen other caravans and campers were parked further down the road.
Five caravan and camper owners complained about the stench and the dust at the site at il-Għoqot. Holding her infant son, Runza said the il-Għoqot site is dangerous for children who can easily run onto the oncoming traffic of the coast road.
