Some good news to brighten the Letters pages

I read many letters in these columns that bring out the troubles of this country, this continent – this world. They all make forceful points.

I would like to bring something of a more cheerful nature to light for readers – something good and useful that has happened right here in Limassol.

Many of the pavements all the way up Leontiou to Makarios Ave (and beyond northwards) have been made safely walkable. The kerbs have also been renewed with clear black and white markings, making both crossing the road and driving safer.

Congratulations, therefore, to the municipality for all the work done to assist both drivers and pedestrians. Not that many people walk… but then I’m a 78-year-old Brit with a white stick and darks glasses.

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.
