Polemidia campaign against graffiti

KATO Polemidia Council has launched a campaign against the illegal spraying of slogans and offensive symbols on walls.

“We need to give more education and culture to our youth. We also need new aesthetic approaches to public areas. We all have a role to play in this effort. Let’s change things!

Let’s demand better quality of life!” said Mayor of Kato Polemidia Giorgos Georgiou.

The campaign will kick off today between 9am and 11am with an event at Polemidia Lyceum. The event has been jointly organised by the local government, student councils, as well as parents and teachers. Participants will take part in cleaning illegally-sprayed slogans off walls.

“I would like to call organised groups to attend this event in order to send out a message,” Georgiou added.

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.
