In fact, there is still confusion about what the final version of the project will look like,\u201d she said.She added that some restaurants have placed tables and chairs on the harbour, but that \u201c<strong>uncertainty and disorder are continuing<\/strong>.\u201dRegarding the wooden pier at which boats are moored, she said \u201crotten old decks have not been replaced, although [\u2018tourism minister\u2019 Fikri] Ataoglu promised from the parliamentary podium that they would be, and they pose a serious safety risk.\u201dTo this end, she said rotten wood had collapsed while a young man was walking on it, but that fortunately, \u201c<strong>he survived the incident without any injury<\/strong>.\u201dShe also criticised the execution of the plan to place glass over old rail tracks underneath the harbour uncovered during the renovations for people to see, as <strong>condensation collecting in the glass meant that nothing can be seen through it.<\/strong>\u201cSpring cannot happen without Kyrenia and its harbour. The necessary work must be completed urgently,\u201d she said.Follow the<br \/>\nCyprus Mail  on Google News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renovation works have started on Kyrenia\u2019s sea promenade, as announced by the town\u2019s mayor Murat Senkul. The renovation aims to transform the area into a special public space. The project began as renovations to the town\u2019s old harbour are nearing completion, though some issues remain unresolved, such as the placement of restaurant tables and chairs. Deputy parliament speaker Fazilet Ozdenefe highlighted ongoing problems, including incomplete arrangements for sunshades and parasols, confusion about the project&#8217;s final version, and safety risks due to unaddressed rotten wood on the pier. A young man survived a fall caused by the rotten wood without injury. Additionally, a plan to display old rail tracks under glass has been compromised by condensation, obstructing
