Assurances for Completion of Works in Tseriou by End of March

The Transport Committee has assured that the works on Tseriou Avenue in Nicosia and the connecting roads will be completed by the end of March. This assurance came after a discussion regarding the delays and inconvenience caused by the roadworks to residents and businesses in the area. MP Christos Christofides of AKEL stated that if the deadline is not met, accountability will be sought. Mr. Christofides emphasized the need to take all measures to complete the projects, as the delay is causing significant financial damage to many. He also expressed concern about the phenomenon of contractors taking on too many projects simultaneously and being unable to complete them on time, leading to cost increases and delays. He referred to examples seen in the Control Committee, where contractors invoke various reasons to justify delays and then request additional fees. He stressed the need for the state to streamline its management in this area and impose penalties on contractors who do not fulfill their obligations. Overall, the discussion in the Transport Committee focused on the need for effective management of road projects, avoiding delays, and protecting the interests of citizens and businesses affected by them.
