Re: The new square

Are we surprised??? Oh course it is dangerous, an accident waiting to happen!!!

And those lines of metal posts, surely they can find something a little more in keeping with the area??

Re: The new square

Well, having seen it 'live' now I have to say I think it's a big improvement. The turning should be made wider to allow buses to get round it without having to reverse now and then, and some shade over the many seats would be a good idea, but overall, it's OK. Just returned from lovely 10 days, the...

Re: July newsletter photos

Have just looked at webcam of the 'square' and it looks total chaos!! Coaches, large trucks, vans etc etc - cannot believe what they are allowing to enter and cross the 'square'?? The layout clearly indicates that this was not what was planned to happen??? Oh dear, a real shame IMHO which will be so...

Re: The new square

Lot of disturbing negative comments being posted?? Will see for ourselves in September, but not hopeful that all will be sorted even by then now?? This truncated work must surely be causing a lot of harm for trade and tourism in Carvoeiro??

Re: Will the Square be sorted out by September?

Outrageous response to a perfectly reasonable request :!: :!: This is the sort of unjustifiable comment that one comes to expect from persons that dominate forums which in end drive members away!!! Moderators please take note of this totally unacceptable 'attack', not serving any good at all:!: :!:...

Re: Will the Square be sorted out by September?

Why has this topic suddenly changed into a gourmet special? Centered on the south of England, not even Portugal? Instead of going 'off topic' why don't contributors start a topic relevant to their input? Anyway, gripe over, back to the original topic. Made two visits to CVO during last couple of we...

Re: Will the Square be sorted out by September?

Thought the original idea was to pedestrianize the square and keep the traffic away?? Webcam pics are starting to look chaotic with cars travelling through the square over 'pedestrian areas', what is it going to look like when the 'busy' season starts shortly?? Plus they now seem to be taking an ino...

Re: May Newsletter

Thank you for up-date on the works and the new pics, most enlightening - there just seems so much still to do away from the square!! How do the traders put up with all this?? Looks to me at the moment as though the works will carry on well into the peak season in which case tourists will be avoiding...

Re: Will the Square be sorted out by September?

Thanks for the recent pics, have to say the progress of the work appears to be getting slower and slower the less that they have to do?? Is this the feeling out there?? Way beyond completion dates indicated now, surely they want to get everything finally sorted within the next couple of weeks?? Feel...
