In a particularly warm atmosphere today, the Regional Governor Yiannis Trepeklis met with the Mayor of North Corfu, Giorgos Mahimaris, at the Regional Authority headquarters in Alykes, Potamos.
Also present at the meeting were the mayor's associates, municipal councillors, local council presidents and business owners.
The two old acquaintances from their roles in local government, the first as the Mayor of Corfu and the second as the Prefect, came together again, they stated, to jointly address longstanding issues such as the waste disposal facility, cleaning servces, and major road projects, such as bypasses, which have not been implemented for decades.
"On my part, I committed to seeking funding that will provide solutions to reasonable, not arbitrary, requests," stated Yiannis Trepeklis following the meeting. "We are in agreement with regard to solving problems of basic infrastructure and delivering quality projects to citizens and the development of the region. But let's also demonstrate a climate of good cooperation because today South Corfu is facing a serious waste issue. Mr. Mahimaris, Mr. Poulimenos, and I are entering the waste collection battle, as, where the environment is concerned, there are no boundaries.
