Oh, what a pity that all those precious euro’s are being spent to upgrade the Mackenzie-Piale Pasha road and before the cement even has a chance to dry, the pavements and walkways are already being used for parking.
Don’t believe me? Just take a wander along there on a weekend. It started with scooters, then small cars, large saloon’s, 4x4s, vans and now HGVs.
It’s only a matter of time before the pedestrian paving slabs are broken and engine oil patches start to appear. I have been coming to Cyprus long enough to remember the first time the pavements were slabbed and Palms were planted in the Mackenzie and Piale Pasha areas in 1987-88 and sadly, then as now little attention was paid to deterring offenders.
I resist suggesting ways to combat the problem but would be interested to hear if others share my concern!
