Invitation to dialoge


Nicosia Municipality

The Mayor of Lefkosia Eleni Mavrou and the members of the Municipality Council of Lefkosia invite you to the Municipal Gathering of the City Inside the Wall , in the "Melina Merkouri" Hall, on Friday 23 May 2008, at 7.30 p.m.

In the Municipal Gathering every area or every citizen of a municipality has word, and can present his opinion. Our goal is to begin a municipal dialog and a two-directional communication to activate the citizens and to cover the most important discussions that concern us all.

Success!




The exhibition was really a success! We wanted to show the "faces" of the city. Pictures of people living in The Old City and showing their everyday feelings about the situation, talking about the good and bad of the city.
Also, there was photographic and sound material showing life today in the Old Town, under the title Places and Faces Within the Walls of Nicosia.



Lots of people passed by the stoa to check the Awake! presentation, between them, the major K. Mavrou, some of the municipal authorities, and lots of friends of the old city.
Also, students from Phaneromeny school could learn about the city they live in.
Thanks to all of you!

We want this for Nicosia!

This one comes from Pola:

FREE CHARGING

On a recent vacation in London, Cars.com producer Martin Stocks stumbled across the Recharging Points for electric vehicles you see here. About 20 such stations heve been instaled around central London to allow owners of electric vehicles to recharge their cars while at work or shopping. Here's what Martin had to say about the phenomenon:




“Despite the lack of available vehicles, those who choose to be an early adopter can potentially save a lot of money. The Charging Stations are free to use, and vehicles that use them also park for free. Parking in central London can be up to $50 a day. In addition, electric vehicles are exempt from London 's $16-per-day congestion charge. So that's $66 per day saved before we even factor in gas at $7 a gallon. You don't even take a hit on your electricity bill if you do all your charging in the city."

The rivers of Nicosia

Who said there are no rivers in Nicosia?

You only need not to have sewer system, horrible pavement, lots of cars and a Municipality who doesn’t care.

Lots of fun! You can even have your own swimming pool inside your house!
Do it yourself!
