More demolition works

[Dutchie]

These places had extended beyond their original boundaries without permission so I think it's only fair to other restaurant that something has been done. But...as others have mentioned as well...this could have been done before the season started.

We asked questions of another business in the area and were told that they had all extended over their boundaries and had all been given warnings that this would happen so they had plenty of time to sort it out before the bulldozers went in.
Timing could have been better but apart from the Yakamoz it looked as if tidying up was under way and certainly Bogazici and Kardelen were both trading today.

I suppose you can't have it both ways - we moan about people ignoring the laws over there then we moan when the law is enforced. It does seem very heavy handed and poorly timed but as Fi says, we don't know exactly what warnings/notice they had previously. I guess if maximum impact and inconvenience was the mission, the authorities achieved their aim. It's simply not doing the place any favours in the eyes of the casual holidaymaker.

Exactly ... the Yakamoz has come off worst because it had transgressed most.

Have to say, we thought the work on the town square would kill us but quite the opposite! Seen far more tourists than usual!! Wish they would get on with it though!!

My guess is that the council have timed these demolitions quite deliberately ie hit the non-compliance offenders in the pocket after many warnings. Shame really as nobody seems to win on this one !
