The Cyprus Paraplegics Association has written to Nicosia Municipality asking that the road linking Eleftheria and Solomou Squares is pedestrianised.

Their letter follows public calls to pedestrianise the area so that the public can better enjoy the view below the Nicosia walls and of the new Eleftheria Square.
