The community councils and residents of the outlying area of Tylliria are strongly complaining about the delay in the cleaning of the port basin of the fishing shelter of the area.
Because of the currents and the location of the harbour entrance, almost every year tonnes of sand are carried offshore, effectively trapping fishermen's boats.
The mayor of Kato Pyrgos Tilliria, Nikos Kleanthous, said that for almost three months the professional fishermen of the area have not been able to work as their boats remain trapped in the fishing shelter.
Unless the sand is cleared , he explained, they cannot go offshore.
Mr.Kleanthous called on the relevant government departments to act immediately by cleaning the harbour lekans in the first stage and giving a definitive solution to the problem.
