CYPRadar 🇨🇾🧒 Nicosia Lykavittos residents and parents oppose migrant minors housing centre near school
Residents of the Lykavittos area in Nicosia and parents from the local primary school are strongly opposing a government plan to open a housing centre for unaccompanied migrant minors near the school. They have begun collecting signatures against the facility, citing safety concerns for children and lack of prior consultation. The centre is reportedly planned as an open-type facility, which residents argue is unsuitable so close to the school.
Stelios Hadjigeorgiou, representing residents and parents, questioned the legality of the site choice and why existing facilities were not used instead. He stressed that while migrant children already integrated into the school have not caused issues, concerns stem from incidents reported at other similar facilities. The Nicosia Municipal Council expressed majority opposition to the chosen location, reflecting resident sentiment.
Residents and parents remain vigilant and are prepared to escalate their actions, including protests, if authorities proceed without addressing their objections. They are awaiting responses from state entities and continue mobilising to change plans for the facility’s location.
