Some properties in Kızıltaş are in imminent danger of being totally cut off.

Kalkan Turkish Local News has learned that the D400 contractors intend today, Monday, to remove an access road to the Begonvil development, (Piynar Sokak area), leaving residents isolated.

The national highways agency appears unmoved that a new local service road, providing alternative access, has not yet been built.

We went to take a look for ourselves, and found local residents in discussion with highway contractors, and a member of the Belediye.

Leyla Cook told KTLN that she is not prepared to let this happen, and if necessary she will occupy the piece of road to prevent the diggers from coming in.  Her car is currently parked on the piece of road in question.

Leyla was due to fly home a few days ago, but couldn't leave due to the flight restrictions in Europe.  Now, she is glad she is around so that she can take direct action to prevent local properties being cut off.  Leyla is the lady in the middle of the group, in the photo below.

We understand that it will take two weeks to build the new service road, but in the meantime, the D400 contractors want to push on.

It seems inconceivable that anyone would deliberately cut off such a large number of people.  Just consider the safety implications, if say, a fire broke out.

Let's hope that there will be some kind of intervention to stop this happening today.

Kalkan Turkish Local News will keep you informed of any developments.

Update at 6pm on Monday: the temporary access road is still there.  The road contractors say they will return in the morning (Tuesday).
