An event condemning the treason and honouring the heroes of the Resistance was held today, on the grim anniversary of the Coup, co-organised by the Municipality of Geroskipou and the Fighters of the Resistance Association.

The event, which took place at the Monument of Democracy and Resistance 1974 in Geroskipou, next to the former KEN, began at 8:20 a.m., the hour the Coup was launched, with the sounding of sirens.

The programme included a memorial service led by the Very Reverend Archimandrite Odysseas Aspromallis, addresses by the Mayor of Geroskipou Nikos Palios and the Deputy Mayor of Geroskipou Andreas Siikkis, the recitation of a poem by Dinos Charalambous in memory of the heroes of the Resistance, and a brief address by the President of the Fighters of the Resistance Association, Leontios Filippou.

The event concluded with the laying of wreaths.

This meeting also confirmed that:
• The Department of Town Planning and Housing has begun the study for the road’s cross-section and will start drawing up a regulatory plan within the current year.
• The Department of Lands and Surveys will have completed the registration of the final section of the road, approximately three km long, by the end of 2025.
• The Public Works Department has begun the study for installing road lighting from the Anarita roundabout up to the Airport entrance. This work is expected to begin in the last quarter of 2026.

The Municipality of Geroskipou, based on information provided by the contractor of the project for the regeneration of the traditional core of Geroskipou (MILTIADES NEOPHYTOU C.E.C. & D.), informs the public that, as of 1 July 2025, construction works will begin on Section D of the project, which includes Archiepiskopou Kyprianou, Spartis and Kanari streets.

The project includes the demolition of existing roads and pavements, earthworks, construction of a new storm water drainage network, installation works for new public utility networks (EAC and CYTA), road lighting and road paving.

On the above streets, for the period of the next three months and until the end of September 2025, works will be carried out and they will remain closed to traffic.

In addition, on Thermopylon, Marathonos, Kouriou and Michalaki Karaoli streets, traffic will be cut off on a rotating and partial basis in order to complete the paving works.

As part of the above phase of works, the regeneration of the car park on Kyprianou street, to the south of the Geroskipou Adult Centre, is also included, and it will remain closed to the public.

Throughout the duration of the works, safe access will be ensured for pedestrians, affected residents and visitors to homes and other businesses, as well as to the car park on Spartis street.

Depending on the progress of the works, and always in good time, a new detailed update will be provided with all the necessary information regarding the remaining phases of the project.
The company’s engineers remain at the disposal of the affected residents to resolve any particular case and to mitigate its impact on them.

We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience that may be caused in the course of the project.
