Solutions sought for Larnaca, ’s Natura 2000 area
Projects aimed at enabling safe travel near the waste-treatment plant on the Larnaca-Meneou road, situated in an environmentally sensitive area, were discussed by Transport Minister Alexis Vafeades, Agriculture Minister Maria Panayiotou, the Larnaca mayor, and other officials. The discussion focused on addressing road erosion, ensuring driver safety, and restoring the road network without harming the environment. The area is part of the Natura 2000 network, encompassing the Larnaca salt flats, which is home to unique endemic species that officials aim to protect. Initial plans for the project involve consultations between the environment department and the public works department to devise the best solution.
