CWeekly: EU funds of whopping 884 million to spend..

One can see in many villages in our district the nice stone works etc which is obviously EU money from these funds...

The Cyprus government would never find the money these projects.

Maybe there shouldn't so much money be found for nice-to-haves. In some mountain villages I saw very nicely plastered pedestrian crossings. However, there were no pedestrians as the villages seemed almost uninhabited. Surely that money could have been spent more efficiently and for more important things ( e.g. sewerage, education, healthcare, recycling plants,....).

I always understood that deserted TC properties were let out to GC refugee families from the North @ peppercorn rents, on the understanding that the new occupants kept the property fully maintained and in good order, until a Peace Settlement was eventually reached, whereby TC and GC could return to their original homes, if they wished?

Or did I lose something in the translation? Just to add, that many of these outlying GC and TC remote villages were collapsing in any case, through frequent earthquakes and tremors, their foundations having been dug into unstable ground, rather than on a large 'moveable' concrete raft, like houses in Cyprus are built nowadays...

Choletria, Theletra, Androlikou, Fasli, Meladiea, Zacharia, Kios, just to mention a handfull...
