WORK continues apace this morning on the storm drain network that is set to solve the town’s 30-year-old flooding problems in parts of Altinkum.

Pipework threading from Main Beach through Dolphin Square and to the side of the Didim Shopping Mall appears complete.

Work is now concentrated advancing up the side of Ataturk Boulevard heading away from Main Beach and then it will cut in down the side of the back road where the Altinkum Mosque is and continues to run towards Hunters Valley.

Mr Atabay said he was confident that the work will be completed before the summer season.

He said that he hoped the work would help solve a 30-year problem that had blighted the area and caused flooding damage to hotels, local business and homes.
