SLIPPING BUILDING AT THE ENTRANCE TO KAMARES
Val Potter, Secretary of the KVHA, and Cathi Delaney had a
meeting with the District Office on 13 March and the following is a brief
update of the current position:
1 1. Legal
Action
The case continues through the law courts.
The matter is very complicated and a prompt decision is unlikely to be reached.
2.
Safety of the Construction
We were assured that the building
is safe. Regular measurements are taken and monitored. Expert opinion say that if there
is an imminent danger of the building ’slipping’ across the road, there will be
significant warning signs before the
event.
3. Interim
Improvements to be made
It was agreed that the Civil
Engineer from the District Office will come and inspect the building very
shortly, to agree a schedule for the works outlined below. KVHA Secretary Val
Potter and Cathi Delaney will be advised of the date and time, and
together with two other members of the KVHA committee, Panayiotis Kezoudi from
Leptos and a representative of Tala Council will meet on site.
District Officer Mary Lambrou expressed her wish to be
present at this on site meeting if her diary allows.
A budget has been
agreed with the Government to:
- - Level out
the road
- - Secure
the site
- - Remove
any loose concrete/materials likely to fall or slip onto the road below
- - Fill in
or take whatever remedial action can be taken regarding some of the cracks
- - Repair
the metal fence which is bulging into the road
The District Office have agreed to update Val Potter and
Cathi Delaney if there are any matters to report.
