The Municipality of Ierokipia has launched a new form of resident participation in municipal affairs, the Municipal Assembly.
The decision to begin this initiative in the smallest municipal district by population, that of Acheleia, was by no means accidental. The turnout of residents, their interest in their area and the constructive discussion that took place were significant.
We are delighted by the turnout of residents, their interest in their area, as well as the constructive discussion we had with them.
The Municipal Assemblies continue on Friday 15/11 at the Geroskipou Multipurpose Centre.
An agreement was signed today (13/11) between the Municipality of Geroskipou and the company G. I. Michaelides and Sons Ltd for improvement works on the facades of nine Turkish Cypriot buildings in Geroskipou and Koloni, for the amount of €24,420.00 plus VAT.
The cost will be covered by a grant from the Turkish Cypriot Properties Management Service.
The works provided for under the contract will be completed by 15 December 2024.
