LEFKIMMI. On Sunday night Lefkimmi residents gathered at the Neohori sports pitch near South Corfu landfill.

Lefkimmi Cultural Society had called on residents to go for a 'walk' in their properties near the church, claiming that they didn't need anyone's permission to do so.

They came up against the riot police and things intensified as the police used chemicals when some of the residents approached the landfill and fire broke out again at one spot.

The incidents lasted about 45 minutes, after which the residents left and gathered in Neohori square.
