CORFU. On Friday, Mayor Stefanos Poulimenos announced his plans as part of the public consultation on the Urban Operations Regulations, following an engaging event on the topic organised by the San Giacomo Association.

The Central Corfu Mayor’s statement on the event about Public Spaces:

“In response to comments about my absence from the event on Public Spaces, organised by the 'San Giacomo' Cultural Association at the Municipal Theatre, I feel the need to state the following:

I greatly appreciate such initiatives that promote public dialogue.

Circumstances beyond my control prevented me from attending; however, the Deputy Mayor for Education and Municipal Property, Michalis Hondroyannis, was present and represented the municipal authority with distinction, also contributing to the discussion.

I look forward with great interest to the proceedings of the event, so that this excellent initiative—which raises awareness among all of us about such an important issue for our town’s life—can continue.

Finally, on the occasion of this event and in view of the upcoming consultation on the draft Urban Operations Regulation, I am convening a meeting next week with representatives of residents’ and business associations to exchange views on Public Spaces.”
