Remember last year when they had potholes all over Main Street and we had made it a topic at the end of March; Do you remember, in fact, that he had... «angry» the Mayor and «embellished» us by describing the report as «pothole journalism»; This year, forget about that. We have other manners!
For about 20 days now the main road of the island, which in many places had potholes, was literally combed by the services of the Municipality. In places such as the provincial road Potamos - Kythera, from Potamos to Aroniadika, from Karvounades to Livadi, but also in other parts of the main road most of the potholes have been closed. And they are closed much earlier than ever before! They are thus destroyed and the arguments he had set out in his post then Mr. Harhalakis. Let's see what our Mayor said on April 2, 2022:
«...But never in winter, never with low temperatures, never on wet pavement. ALWAYS after Easter, NEVER before. Because right now the bituminous mixture It can NOT be worked because it is frozen. And it also requires 2 people and specific preparation (pothole cleaning, inert material, compaction, etc.) and there is currently no 2nd worker available. If the temperature does not stabilize above 20-22 degrees, the potholes cannot be repaired. This was always done and it never made the news.
A few days ago the responsible municipal official attempted to close some potholes, but the material was «petrified». It wasn't working. If the «journalists» of kythera.news did a simple search in the Transparency, they would find all the relevant assignments that have been made under my mayoralty and would see from the relevant dates that These were NEVER done before Easter».
After all, anything can happen, even the asphalt is laid at a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, as in early March! But it has crossed our minds, this «early» repair of the roads to be related to the presence of of the National Observatory of the National Observatory found 15 days ago on the island! Or even the fact that Easter is early this year, we have elections, let's show a better picture! Never mind, let it be whatever he wants! Kudos to the Mayor and City departments for breaking down traditions and arguments. The good things to be said!
