The 4 lira was the minimum they were supposed to charge in the area, with no upper limit. The minimum prices were intended to help those renting premises so that they could compete fairly with those places that own their premises as far as I am aware, and most business owners in the area agreed with the pricing. As it happens it did not work out as some places were pricing lower anyway and no one was being checked on.
Re Brian the gardeners comments, I also feel that The mayor has done an awful lot for this area as regards tourism, schooling to name a couple of things. The news item at the top of this topic is a little hard to understand and unclear,so I really think we all need to get the full facts before we start condemning. As I think has been stated before, he is not acctually in prison at the moment, and is appealing so we will have to wait and see what happens. I am left worrying though what will happen to this area if we later get a mayor who is not committed to tourism.
