NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH - Recent issues June 2018
A couple of security issues have been notified recently.
Tala - overnight someone attempted to force open the petrol cap of a car parked at an apartment block in Tala - presumably to syphon off the fuel.
Tala - two different reports of similar incidents over the last month or so, both in Kamares. If you see anyone walking around wearing a balaklava and/or hoodie, with a backpack, please call the Police immediately. This applies also for any person or any vehicle you see acting suspiciously or erratically. For a vehicle you will need a brief description of the vehicle and the registration number - without this there is nothing the Police can do.
Peyia - discovered by a managing agent. When they carried out their weekly security inspection they found an unknown man staying in the property. He claimed that someone on the complex had rented the apartment to him. However, the managing agent was the sole key holder so they knew this was untrue.
The man was clearly sleeping rough in the apartment - there was no water turned on, and he was sleeping on a bare mattress. Paphos Police responded quickly and removed the man from the property. It is believed that he picked the lock to gain entry.
PAPHOS RESIDENTS PUSH FOR BETTER CRIME PREVENTION
Cyprus Mail - article by Bejay Browne 14 June 2018
EXPAT residents in Paphos are joining forces to try and push the government to appoint more staff at the overworked police department and enact an operational neighbourhood watch schemes involving the wider community, following concerns about increasing numbers of burglaries.
On occasion, burglars are entering houses while residents are in adjacent rooms or asleep, said Russian expat Paphos resident, Irina (surname withheld).
In May, she organised two events in Paphos and Limassol to encourage the public to stand together and call on authorities to take immediate action.
A further, larger event is now planned for Saturday June 30 at 6pm, and supporters are invited to attend a demonstration ‘Prevent Crime in Cyprus’, to be held at the castle in Kato Paphos.
Irina said that there are not enough police officers and that they are overworked.
Graham Gurley, a Peyia resident, said that Peyia has now joined forces with Tala and Kamares to try and help authorities to reduce crime. Gurley was integral in setting up Peyia Community Services, PCS, a website dedicated to community matters, security and information.
He said that a petition in support of the protest later this month is up and running and people are invited to add their signatures.
“The petition is in support of the protest at Paphos harbour. We want to give as many signatures as possible to the government and local authorities to gain more resources and ask for enactment in all areas of a functioning and communicating Neighbourhood Watch scheme, involving two-way communication between the police and the community” he said.
Gurley added that residents will also ask for more resource for the enforcement agencies.
Irina said that a recent residents’ meeting in Kamares saw more than 100 (mostly British expats) attend, and although the chief of police didn’t show up as agreed, he did send officers in his place.
“They were not from the surrounding areas but from Geroskipou. The local police officers were so busy, it shows they urgently need more police.”
Gurley said that the decision to team up with Tala and Kamares comes in the wake of a spate of crime in the area adding that they are in reasonably close proximity to Peyia. He said that other areas being targeted are: Paphos, Tsada and Aphrodite Hills and that these incidents illustrate a problem which is being ignored and ‘pushed under the carpet’.
“Cyprus is a safe place and you often see people walking completely safely here which is not always possible in other countries, but the problem we have is crime against property.”
He stressed that the group want there to be proper neighbourhood watches in all areas to help the police to protect people.
“Many investors here are already disappointed as crime is on the rise,” said Irina.

GEROSKIPOU BEACH-FRONT FACELIFT UNDERWAY
Cyprus Mail article by Bejay Browne 13 June 2018
THE winning tenders of three beach bars situated along Geroskipou municipal beach will be decided next Tuesday, and work on them is due to be completed in the second week of July, according to the local mayor.
Michalis Pavlides told the Cyprus Mail on Tuesday that the month-long tender process for three beach bars (kiosks) concluded on Monday, when the submitted envelopes were opened.
“They will now go before the council (next Tuesday) to decide if everything is OK and criteria met and we will make a decision,” he said.
Pavlides said that professional companies from Paphos have applied for the individual kiosks, which will serve drinks and snacks, including alcohol, and will be open every day all year long.
Each new area is around 220 square metres and 80 square metres of each space will consist of toilets, changing rooms and showers.
The first will be created at ‘Riccos’, with the second 250 and the third 300 metres further along the beach.
In the future, the municipality will add another two kiosks along the stretch, they have already rented the space from the government, said the mayor.
“We will go ahead with this in two years, they will be positioned along from where the last kiosk is currently placed,” he said.
The stretch of Geroskipou municipal beaches has the official name of Aphrodite beach and it has a long history, noted Pavlides. The name Geroskipou derives from the classical Greek ‘Hieros Kipos’ meaning ‘Sacred Garden’.
“In ancient times it used to be an extensive area of beautiful gardens, dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite. People used to walk here to make some offering, hence the name.”
Two hundred and fifty indigenous trees to Cyprus will also be planted in the area next month to help provide shade. And a wider project to renovate and reinvigorate the sea front area will also get underway in September.
“We are also going to create other things in the area, there will be a children’s play area, a large new parking area, roads, lights and so on. It will change completely which will be beneficial for both tourists and locals.”
The €2m price tag is being covered by the municipality.
“We wanted to avoid doing any other work during the summer,” Pavlides said.
In addition, six breakwaters have been completed in the sea off the coast at a cost of €3m – the government paid 70 per cent and the municipality 30 per cent, he added.
A study for the next phase of breakwaters which will run from Geroskpiou up to Paphos municipality beach of Ta Bania, has been completed and is now with the environmental department to study.
“We hope they will do this by the end of the year and work on this part of the project may start in 2020”.
The mayor said that the 4,000 to 5,000 or so visitors to the beach at summer peak time weekends will increase to at least 8,000 with the implementation of the upgrades.
“Geroskipou was again awarded two blue flags for our beaches and next year we will hopefully get a third for a newly organised area,” he said.
MPs TABLE BILL TO TAX AIRBNB-STYLE RENTALS
Cyprus Mail. Article by Elias Hazou 12 June 2018
Two MPs have tabled a bill that aims to regulate and tax short-term property rentals like Airbnb.
According to Disy deputy Averof Neophytou, who co-authored the legislative proposal, approximately one-third of tourists stay in unregistered accommodation.
The bill aims to control this ‘illegality’, he added.
The proposal, which Neophytou said should go before the plenum before parliament breaks up for the summer holidays, amends the law on hotel and tourism accommodation by adding clauses setting out technical, operational and health specifications for self-catering accommodations such as those leased via Airbnb.
It will also create a registry of self-catering accommodation. The registry will be maintained by the Cyprus Tourism Organisation.
Anyone renting out their property short-term would be legally required to register.
Neophytou claimed the change would benefit thousands of households, since people would be able to rent their country villas or flats out short-term. In some cases, he predicted, the earnings might exceed a household’s normal income.
The income would then be taxed.
Although Neophytou said this sort of activity is currently illegal, it was not entirely clear whether this is true.
It’s understood that other than single-day leasing, which is unlawful, short-term leasing is not illegal.
Neophytou demurred when asked about the hoteliers’ position on the matter, saying only that regardless of their views the proposed measure “will help normal folk and households.”

The Disy MP suggested that a ‘transition period’ might be implemented once the law is passed.
Edek MP Elias Myrianthous, the bill’s other author, said that at a later stage parliament would be addressing the issue of the short-term rental of flats within apartment blocks.
Angelos Votsis, chair of the House commerce committee, explained that the bill refers to self-catering furnished tourism accommodation, and will mandate that these be leased in whole and not in part.
During an earlier discussion in parliament, it was said that at present there are some 20,000 country homes and holiday cottages that are unregulated but leased online.
CABINET APPROVES AMENDMENTS TO RULES FOR YOUNGER AND OLDER DRIVERS
Cyprus Mail - article by Staff Reporter 13 June 2018
The cabinet on Wednesday approved the granting of learner driving licences at the age of 17 instead of 17.5 under existing legislation to allow them an extra six months to learn before getting a full licence.
The aim is to help trainee drivers acquire more experience and further practice “in low-risk conditions before obtaining a full driving licence”. Full licences are granted to people over 18 after they successfully pass the relevant tests.
Also, the cabinet approved, for accident prevention purposes, that it would be mandatory for drivers aged 76 and over to present a health certificate with the application for renewal of their licence.
The cabinet also decided to exempt vehicles owned or operated by people with disabilities from road tax.
