Sunbeds and umbrellas will never be accepted on Lara turtles bay even though the Cabinet on Wednesday decided to allow the Inia community some development near the protected beach, Agriculture Minister Petros Xenofontos has said.
In fact, the Cabinet decided – within the framework of measures and actions to strengthen the development activity of protected Akamas region communities – approved all 11 proposals submitted by the Ministries of Interior and Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment.
Philenews also reports that, in a statement, Xenofontos also noted that “development of the region has nothing to do with what has been published about sunbeds or umbrellas on the beach. It will never be acceptable to have umbrellas or sunbeds on Lara beach.
“I am adamant on, and so is the President of the Republic,” he added.
Moreover, measures announced by the minister include the granting of a subsidy to landowners based on their land to contribute rural areas to protect the environment and biodiversity.
The amount of the hectare subsidy will be announced later, he also said.
Another measure announced was the planning and implementation of a basic road network in residential zones.
