Construction case goes to court

A CONSTRUCTION company which was stopped in its tracks from building a 9 storey block close to Tuntas Beach has taken Didim Council to court against the action.

As reported in Voices several months ago, Didim Mayor Deniz Atabay and his officers cancelled the permission and licence for the project even though groundworks had already been completed.

The company concerned said the actions had stopped a 50 million Turkish Lira development going ahead despite the fact that 40 of the 93 apartments had apparently been sold.

The case is now ongoing.
