Clean up your mess

Sir,

Which developer will be the first to set an example and clean the rubbish around their finished building sites. Just drive around villages like Peyia, Tala or Mandria and you will see what I mean.

Developers, builders, sub-contractors, they all leave loads and loads of rubbish behind. Not only building material, but also empty water bottles, cans, cigarette boxes, plastic bags etc. If they would clean up when the job is done, Cyprus would already be a lot more attractive.

Do as your mothers told you when you were little. Clean up your mess.

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.
