Apokoronas Our Home

I have been asked by several people to repeat the video showing the battle against beaurocracy! This is not my video it is from Youtube. I think that all of us here in Greece  can relate to this

All of us who live in this part of Crete know that the national highway between Georgioupolis and Rethymnon is the site of many accidents each year, often involving pedestrians. I myself personally knew two local people, one killed and one with "life changing injuries" who were injured whilst crossing the road from Mathes to Georgioupolis at the junction. (and think of all the tourists catching buses) It has been announced that next year (2018) the development for upgrading the road network and safer pedestrian movement on the national highway from Georgioupolis to the border with Rethymnon is expected to take place.  5 bridges and 4 subways are due to be constructed and three interchanges. The project, with a budget of EUR 11.5 million is part of the budget for road safety of the region of Crete (not from the local council's budget) and aims to reduce road accidents occurring in the region.

Last week the social services held a small event to thank the many people of all nationalities for their help. The use of the Institute of typography in Agias Pantes was arranged ( no charge, as this is how they give their support) and many people were invited. Some of the women's groups provided refreshments before the event. Of course there were many speeches, including one from Canon Philip - the Anglican priest of the area - which he presented off the cuff in Greek. A huge mix of people of many nationalities who have each helped in their own ways - many were unable to be with us on the night.
