In an effort to enhance security and curb vandalism, the municipality of Paphos has taken a significant step by installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance systems in the Park of Colours. This initiative was announced on Tuesday following a series of complaints from citizens who have grown increasingly concerned about repeated malicious acts that have plagued the popular recreational area.
The Park of Colours, known for its vibrant atmosphere and community engagement, has unfortunately been the target of various damaging activities. In response to the outcry from the public, the municipality sought a solution that would deter such behavior and protect the park’s facilities and visitors.
After a thorough review by the commissioner for personal data protection, the green light was given to proceed with the installation of CCTV cameras. This move aligns with the municipality’s commitment to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for all park-goers.
The new surveillance system is expected not only to act as a deterrent against potential vandals but also to aid in the swift identification and apprehension of individuals responsible for any future incidents. The municipality’s decision underscores the importance of leveraging technology to safeguard public spaces.
Residents and visitors to the Park of Colours can now enjoy the park’s amenities with an added sense of security, knowing that measures are in place to respond effectively to any acts that might disrupt the park’s peaceful ambiance. The municipality remains vigilant and is dedicated to ensuring that the Park of Colours remains a cherished spot for relaxation and community activities in Paphos.
