Car Port
Thinking of having a tiled car port installed. It would be attached to our house on one side, the other three sides would be open. Does anyone know if planning permission would be needed? And who from?

Empty Reservoir
Hi
Went for a walk yesterday down Spryou Kyprianou, Peyia and noticed that the Reservoir was completely empty. Where has the water gone? Has the water all been consumed or has it been emptied for maintenance?

Unoffical Border Crossings
I have probably been watching too many movies, war or otherwise where people get to another country via unofficial crossings. They seem to go via farm tracks, mountain passes, etc. Just wondering if this happens between North & South Cyprus? Is it possible to get over the green line?

Solar Water Heating
I would guess that our house is about 20 years old. Probably still got the original solar panels. A guy said that they are starting to go but would get a few more years out of them. Question: I'm told new panels are much more effecient and would produce lots of really hot water. Has anyone replaced ...

Re: MUKW3
We have recently received our MUKW3 cards. No problems at all at Paphos Immigration. We supplied copies of MEU1, Title Deed, one electric bill, passport copy, marriage certificate and that was it.

Triple Glazing
Our house is increasingly suffering from Traffic noise. Is it worth replacing the double glazed patio doors with triple glazing and if so would it be effective? Any other suggestions to reduce the intrusive noise would be welcomed. At times it's even difficult to hear the TV.

Woodburners
We are considering installing a wood burner in our house. Before we make a decision one of things that's worrying us (apart from the cost!) is where do we get the logs from. Are they readily available and what cost are they likely to be? Any suggestions of suppliers would be appreciated. Anyone with...

House Extension
We are considering adding a single storey extension which would be used as a further bedroom on our property in Peyia. Does anyone know if we need to get approval for this and from whom and what the procedure is.
Thanks

Childrens Facilities
Hi, we have got our grandchildren coming over. They are aged 3 and 5. A lot of the time they will be at the beach or pool but wondering if there are any playgrounds or children's attractions we could also take them to. Also any suitable eating places, they can't sit still for too long! Thanks

Helicopters over Peyia
Just wondering if the helicopters over Peyia are Israeli on military exercise? Also saw a military vehicle going through Peyia with the Star of David on its side which seems to suggest it is also Israeli.

Re: BankOfCyprus website 'upgrade'
In my opinion the website is worse than the existing one. Goodness knows how much they spent developing the new web site.

Corticosteriod Knee Injections
Could anyone advise where the best place is to have a Corticosteriod Knee Injection to relieve pain? Sorry I'm a bit ignorant on these type of things but is it best to go to a GP or a Hospital. I'm not in Gesy. I would be grateful for any recommendations.

Easyjet Finances
Just been reading in the paper today that Easyjet's losses for the first nine months of it's financial year were over £1billion and that they burning through cash at a rate of £34million per week. Horrendous. Interestingly they apparently only operated 17% of flights in June 2021 compared to the pre...
