Very interesting article in the Turkish Daily News today about ongoing building work in Ovacik......some quite laughable comments by the "Authorities" too.

So kerramettin says there is no building work going on,cannot he not see cement lorries diggers etc all around Ovacik,that is without the noise, and dust be created.Last year Jardarma were at the top of the hill turning all building vehicles back,where are they this year??.Maybe this is why most tourists are being sent to Marmaris etc

Some builders do stick by the rules as they have no other option. Others seem to be able to get away with murder because they have the influence.

There should be no exceptions to the law in that it is applied to all or not to anyone.

Still hearing the hammering, angle grinding, cement lorries from a nearby building site on Ovacik, we made enquiries how much longer this would continue and it would appear that certain builders have been issued 'special' permissions to continue buidling all summer by the Beledeye.

I don't think the company you are referring to has been building this winter. As far as I am aware, the only buildings still being worked on are those being done by Infinity Express...who are well known for being late in everything they do!!!!

The site that is disturbing us is a small company but they still have signed permissions. We have been told that due to the elections, there were delays at the Beledeye releasing some permissions to start building this winter, so they are letting them work all summer. So much for encouraging tourism in the area.

Let's see some photos of the heavy trucks trundling past and construction going on, a date stamp on your photo would be good too  :)

A fine CBF catalogue of evidence might make someone think...

How to silence a complaint with little effort. Suggest people do something.

Can.t see the point Zabita have already had picture and video evidence and still say there is no building going on.They are only seeing what they want to see.

You obviously have no idea who reads this forum if you think there is no point. Evidence in public is way more influential than anything privately handed into the Zabita. Your choice of course, let's do nothing.

From what I have seen, the villa pictured in the newspaper article, which I believe is down near the school, is now completed and occupied, so I am assuming that the majority of the work going on there was internal and cosmetic, which I believe is allowed after the main buildlng work comes to an end in May. To be honest, I would rather have the building work carry on a little longer than have loads of unfinished properties making a blot on the landscape.

Have to agree with Scunner on this one, going public would give you a better chance of something being done about it. Lets turn a negative into a positive and show what "can be Done". Remember uzumlu cement works and the influence of the people, they could have said "can't see the point" but they did not and got a result.
