Akamas municipality disputes allegations over road maintenance plans

The Akamas municipality has issued a statement expressing concern over the ongoing misinformation regarding proposed repairs to the Loutra Afroditis – Fontana Amorosa road. The local authority emphasizes that the project involves limited and targeted safety interventions at identified hazardous points, rather than a development project or environmental alteration. Officials state that the current condition of the road poses an objective danger to citizens, visitors, and emergency services. The municipality has criticized external pressure and claims made by various stakeholders, urging officials to perform site visits before making final decisions. They argue that safety assessments cannot be conducted solely through desk-based reports and letters. Furthermore, the municipality asserts that environmental protection is non-negotiable but should not be used as a pretext to avoid essential safety measures. The statement concludes that failing to implement these improvements increases the risk of accidents and potential loss of life.
