Hi Nigel

Do you know if a fence was required on complex pools from day one of the 1993 Cyprus Law or whether at some stage after the law was amended to include a fence ?
We have no fence but the Municipality are insisting that we erect one.My contention is that if a fence was required by law, the Developer should have erected a fence at his cost the time of construction.Further more the Municipality should not have issued a building permit if a fence was not indicated on the building application plans submitted to the municipality.

Whats your take on this ?

Regards
Barry

Hi Barry

I've looked through the database of laws and regulations at https://cylaw.org/ and there have been no amendments to either since they were introduced in 1992 and 1996 respectively.

As far as I can see, there is no law or regulation that requires a public pool to be fenced.

I suggest you ask the Municipality to provide you with the legal references.

Thankyou Nigel.....very helpfull Regards Barry

Hi Barry

There's an article in Cyprus Mail. It looks as things are going to change - Upgraded swimming pool legislation expected in parliament.
