Larnaca hopes for amicable resolution

LARNACA Municipality has expressed its “great concern” over the Lymbia community’s protests.

In an announcement yesterday, the district called on the government to offer protestors all the necessary information so works can finally begin on the waste disposal plant.

It pointed out that the procedure of recycling waste in a specific area was prepared “according to EU specifications, which are known for not polluting the environment”.

The municipality added that the waste would be disposed of in a sheltered area with methods that rule out any bad odours or environmental pollution.

“We are calling on all involved bodies to reach an immediate understanding. We are requesting the official side offers more information to the protestors so that works can finally begin for such a significant and pioneering project for Cyprus, which will protect public health and the environment.”

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
