TALA - REVIEW OF LOCAL PLAN WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF TALA COMMUNITY COUNCIL - assuming in Greek

Hall beneath the new Church, Tala

31 July - 7pm

The Local Plan is normally prepared every 7–10 years. It is a comprehensive planning study that should be carried out by professional private-sector urban planners, following consultation with residents, organized community groups, and other stakeholders. Their views help shape the long-term vision for the community and identify the challenges that need to be addressed.

The study should examine a wide range of important issues, including:

• Water supply, which is a particularly critical issue due to the community's unique topography [and ongoing almost daily problems of bursts due to ancient pipework].
• Whether existing residential zones need to be expanded, and if so, in which directions.
• The need for agricultural, industrial, or other land-use zones.
• The need for cultural, recreational, and community facilities.
• Infrastructure, environmental protection, transportation, public spaces, and many other aspects that affect the future development and quality of life in the community.

Unfortunately, despite the broad scope and importance of the Local Plan, the only issue that seems to have attracted attention is whether the few remaining non-residential land parcels should be included within the residential zone.

CYPRUS' SCHENGEN ACCESSION TO GO BEFORE EU COUNCIL IN SEPTEMBER

CYPRUS' SCHENGEN ACCESSION TO GO BEFORE EU COUNCIL IN SEPTEMBER - Cy Mail 15/7 by Tom Cleaver


The question of whether Cyprus should join Europe’s border-free Schengen zone will be effectively placed before the Council of the European Union in September, with the European Commission having confirmed its own “positive assessment” of the island’s preparedness to join.

Commission spokesman Markus Lammert said on Wednesday that the college of commissioners had on Tuesday adopted a report on the state of Cyprus’ application, which had been based on the monitoring of Cyprus’ preparedness conducted for the EU’s annual “State of Schengen” report, which was released in May.

The college of commissioners is made up of 27 members – one from each country – and effectively functions as the EU’s cabinet.

LIMASSOL WATERFRONT REGENERATION PLANNED FOR AKTAIA ROAD

LIMASSOL WATERFRONT REGENERATION PLANNED FOR AKTAIA ROAD - Cyprus Property News by Nigel Howarth


For decades, Aktaia Road was one of the least visited parts of Limassol. Hidden behind the port, the area became known for its ageing factories, abandoned industrial buildings, warehouses and the traditional boatyard. Despite its rich history, it remained largely disconnected from everyday life in the city.

That is now about to change.

The Limassol waterfront regeneration project aims to transform Aktaia Road into a vibrant public waterfront that reconnects the port with the city centre. The project is designed to create a place where people can walk, cycle, relax and enjoy better access to the sea, while also encouraging new investment and sustainable development.

THE FIASCO WITH [CYPRIOT] TELEVISIONS IN PARLIAMENT - SIGNAL CHANGED SO CAN BE RECEIVED IN ALL HOMES - THE CHANNELS ARE FURIOUS - Filenews 16/7 by Despina Psyllou


A solution for the issues that fell on thousands of televisions in Cyprus after the problems of the transition to the new digital era of high definition, announced the Deputy Minister of Innovation Nikodimos Damianou at an extraordinary meeting of the parliamentary Committee on Transport.

As clarified by the Deputy Minister, they change the sensitivity to the new signal so that the facilities of the houses receive it. In other words, people will be able to watch other channels (as long as they have a set-top box or relatively modern televisions) in the same way that some people watch RIK today.
