Kudos to the Paphos traffic police

Sir,
I feel that congratulations to the Chief of Paphos Traffic Police is in order. The year-on-year downward trend in road deaths reflects the hard work that is going into getting into the hearts and minds of drivers.

This, together with ongoing improvements to the infrastructure, is the only way that the rate of accidents can be brought down and sustained at lower levels.
Let’s hope that this results in even fewer accidents in 2009.

Colin Brightwell,
Neo Chorio, Paphos

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.
