Paphos municipality said on Tuesday that major renovation and rejuvenation works have begun in Mouttalos and an old refugee resettlement neighbourhood.
The areas had fallen into a dismal state and sorely require upgrading, Paphos mayor Phedonas Phedonos said as he oversaw heavy construction vehicles clear tonnes of rubbish and debris.
Abandoned warehouses and other old buildings were knocked down to make way for the planned parks, playgrounds, parking spots and neighbourhood squares.
The majority of the work took place near Ayios Demetrios church, which as the mayor said has been neglected for decades.
“We owe it to the inhabitants of the refugee area which has been neglected for decades to improve their quality of life,” he said.
