Hi Amanda

Raods are gradually being done, but green area is taking time. I take it you mean the community open space as they call it here.

The roads are great though. It is much less of a chore to get up and down from the Oludeniz road now.

Cheers
Colin & Denise

Hi All

A word of warning regards new roads, As thebillet mentioned,
The drains have been tared and gravelled over, but not by one layer.

Some drains are 6inches below the road surface now, so beware when driving, as they would not do your hire car much good, and it may not be covered by insurance.

there's always a down side what[?]

Cheers

Colin and Denise

A down side? More so if you drive down one on your moped !!!!!

No need to worry about the drains now folks. There have been several men digging great holes in the new roads to dig them all out. All the rubble has just been left around the edges. Very smart!!

Oh dear does it all look a mess again now with huge holes everywhere in the middle of the roads.Thats ridiculous if cars and dolmuses have to go up there.

it can't be as bad as it was.hopefully it will get more "landscaped" now,if all that rubble is gone.any pics of green area available(comm open space)we are next to platin appts.

To be perfectly honest most of it is a poor job. The tar is already showing through the gravel in a lot of places and it is crumbling in others. At least it us up by us. It was going to be steam rollered in but they didn't bother in the end. Sorry everyone. Yes the holes are a mess.

Our nearest hole has had a cement ring put in and is level (sort of) with the road surface - a nice level grate to finish off maybe??
By our standards the roads are laughable - but they're no worse than other roads around fethiye.

We arrived on Sunday and were amazed at the difference that the roads have made. Yes - they dont look like they will last a long time before they start to get pot holes etc - but it is a hundred times better than it was 8 weeks ago when we were last out. The area looks so much better. I have taken some pictures of the small road between Forest Hills blocks and will send to Terry and Colin when back. Hating the rain though!!

There seems to be a conflict of opinion as poor Mercury is depressed,chewyturk said laughable and Doug says "what a difference"
I am confused now LOL
