SLIPPING BUILDING AT THE ENTRANCE TO KAMARES - Update March 2018

SLIPPING BUILDING AT THE ENTRANCE TO KAMARES

Val Potter, Secretary of the KVHA, and Cathi Delaney had a meeting with the District Office on 13 March and the following is a brief update of the current position:

1      1. Legal Action

The case continues through the law courts. The matter is very complicated and a prompt decision is unlikely to be reached.

2.    Safety of the Construction

We were assured that the building is safe. Regular measurements are taken and monitored. Expert opinion say that if there is an imminent danger of the building ’slipping’ across the road, there will be significant warning signs before the event.

3.  Interim Improvements to be made

It was agreed that the Civil Engineer from the District Office will come and inspect the building very shortly, to agree a schedule for the works outlined below.   KVHA Secretary Val Potter and Cathi Delaney will be advised of the date and time, and together with two other members of the KVHA committee, Panayiotis Kezoudi from Leptos and a representative of Tala Council will meet on site.

District Officer Mary Lambrou expressed her wish to be present at this on site meeting if her diary allows.

A budget has been agreed with the Government to:

-        - Level out the road

-        - Secure the site

-        -  Remove any loose concrete/materials likely to fall or slip onto the road below

-          - Fill in or take whatever remedial action can be taken regarding some of the cracks

-          - Repair the metal fence which is bulging into the road

The District Office have agreed to update Val Potter and Cathi Delaney if there are any matters to report.
