The Larnaca municipality has urged all owners of plots of land and open spaces in the district to clean them by removing rubbish, dried grass, wood branches and other unnecessary clutter from their premises by Easter.

In a statement on Monday, the municipality also informed people unable to clean their plots that special crews are available to carry out the work for them at an extra cost.

Municipality inspectors will also check the plots to ensure they are properly cleaned.

“Should they find the result unsatisfactory, they will dispatch a cleaning team at the plot owners’ expenses,” the statement added.

The responsibility of cleaning rests solely on the owner, even if waste materials have been placed by third parties.
