Pafos acting mayor plans to install surveillance cameras in public spaces

Acting Mayor of Pafos, Angelos Onisiforou, announced on August 23, 2026, a plan to install surveillance cameras in city parks and public areas. This initiative follows a series of vandalism incidents targeting municipal property, which have raised concerns regarding public safety and the protection of common spaces.

To coordinate this effort, Mr. Onisiforou has scheduled a meeting with other mayors for the coming week. The objective is to proceed with installations where the current legal framework allows, and to advocate for legislative changes where legal or procedural obstacles exist. The initiative aims to provide local authorities with the necessary tools to prevent further destruction of public property and to ensure that families can use parks safely.
