Pattichion Park redevelopment gets partial go-ahead after wildlife concerns
Plans to revamp Larnaca’s Pattichion Park were initially halted due to public opposition and concerns over bird nesting season. However, an agreement between the Larnaca Municipality and wildlife authorities has allowed some construction to resume with restrictions to avoid disrupting wildlife. Limited construction activities permitted between March and June include repairing the Pattichion Amphitheatre, removing formwork at the cafeteria building, constructing parallel parking along Ipirou Street, and building a modified car park near Artemidos Avenue with fewer spaces to protect trees. A pre-construction wildlife check is required for the car park construction to ensure no active nests are disturbed.
