I seem to recall that Goldsmith is a translation of Chrysochou.

I learned that when I did my blog on the village.

And Monster is a translation of Tera.

I have not done a blog on Tera yet. Perhaps I should after I finish with Choulou?

Spot on.

Can anyone tell me where Tala fits in?
Can't see it.

I can't see Chloraka, Lemba and Emba either. The original plan was for them to be part of Peyia Municipality, so I assume they are staying as they are with their own Community Councils.

Time will tell. Though the 4 are all close together. Maybe they wouldn't agree to losing their individual autonomy as separate councils..

The changes will not come before 2024 and there will be more small municipalities added later on.


By the way my translation for some of the villages....

Municipality of Polis Chrysochous, based in Polis Chrysochous
It consists of the municipality of Polis Chrysochous and the communities
Agia Marina (Chrysochous)
Androlikou
Αργάκας = Argaka
Gialias
Δρουσειας = Droushia
Kritou Tera
Makountas
Neo Chorio (Paphos)
New Dimensions = Nea Dimmata
Customer = Pelathousa
Pomou = Pomos
Monster = Tera
Goldsmiths = Chrysochous

Am I alone in thinking the current system works very well, for little cost.

I feel that staffing, administrative costs etc will all soar now.

The Muchtaries (should I say presidents) look after their villages or local areas, know the residents and react to their needs, and in my view provide a service that is second to none!

The villages being integrated into larger areas may well suffer as a result.

This could be a step in the wrong direction.

Having telephoned and sent several emails to Peyia Municipaliy for a simple query since December and being completely ignored with no acknowledgement whatsoever, it fills me with horror at the thought of giving power over a wider area to that administration. A change of staff would go a long way to improving the service and respect for customers.

I thought that municipality staff were in their jobs for life
