Dupnica:
 P.S. If things aren't resolved soon I can see our favourite place getting a slot on "Holidays From Hell".Come to think about it I remember it being

 featured on that programme several years ago when people complained because the JCB was clearing the seaweed while they were trying to relax

 on the beach.So just remember folks you can't have it all ways.

I''m sure the locals would love to have the beach cleared. It will happen. Eventually.

The locals are not allowed to drive without seatbelts,they have to wear crash helmets when riding mopeds,no one under 16 years of age can drive a moped,they are not allowed to drink and drive,they must issue receipts for purchases,they are not allowed to smoke in enclosed bars/tavernas.Do they take any notice?Certainly not in my experience!!So,why are they playing to the rules now or are they playing politics?I know what my guess would be.
As regards a JCB,both Yiannis and Spiros have one and make at least part of their livings hiring them out and i know at least one local lorry driver who does the same.I know what i would do to protect my future and that of my family.If it carries on for too long,it wouldn't be the greatest surprise if Thomson cut back drastically next year.
I make these points because i care and for no other reason.

Rover:
Well Papapetros, that should draw a few comments!

swedebasher:
The beach belongs to the Council (Esperion?), so why should the taverna owners pay to clear the beach? I am told the crux of the matter is that a bill for clearance of sea weed from last year or maybe 2012 has not been paid, so in which case I do not blame him for not continuing this year.

Jimbo:
I'm sure the politcos in Corfu Town would love it if the village cleared the beach. Then they'd expect them to do it ever after.

It's a bit like the bypass, unfortunately. That stand-off wasn't solved in five minutes.
