What's The Point Of Community Service

Press Release on the coordination of the associations of the City of PUG Grottaglie

On 20 May Bagnardi Mayor, Councillor Donatelli technical and senior management of the City of Grottaglie , during the public debate on the theme "Towards the general urban plan (PUG)," they heard the Regional Councillor Barbanente say that when it comes to taking land planning tools within the city, citizens must first be heard. And, in fact, that night we were there, because, as the invitation politely recited speditoci, the purpose of our administrators would be to "start, early stage, a path shared with citizens, technical associations, which will lead to the drafting of the plan. "

Nothing to say, except that a few years ago, the same assessor Barbanente, in the presence of the same court administrators and technicians, had come to say the same things, only then that it was the presentation of the "Pirp ( the plan, ie, redevelopment of urban peripheries) that plan - for those who do not remember - Which, in intention, was intended to redevelop the old town, which later was expanded to encompass half the country, which was presented to the citizens it all ready-made, and from which, eventually, the municipality of Grottaglie was also excluded due to a conflict of interest on the handheld and the inaccuracy of the mayor municipal technicians, which allowed a few million euro to go to enrich other towns in Puglia.

We believe, therefore, the "shared location" or is the usual standard formula, which is much more useful now, right in the electoral environment?
And we believe those who tell you how to "priority" between the objectives of the Pug "aspects of the protection and enhancement of environmental assets" of the area, and, instead, for years not move a finger against those who in that same area, with their consent or, at least, with the their sloth, he dug three million cubic meters of soil to fill it with waste?

And what we think, finally, when we read between those goals, that "the center will be further enhanced? It means that the "plan Cervellati" will be further held in the drawer? It means that even more will be spent several hundred thousand Euros to build another botanical garden never opened and already destroyed? It means that will be further enabled cars and trucks to cross the entire historic center, at least as far as the corresponding width allows them? It means that will further present a myriad of overflowing bins, perhaps to be removed for a few hours when there is some show or some openings with the participation of mayors, and various guests? It means that the Piazza Regina Margherita, although manned by a no-parking 24 hours on 24, will continue to be the largest parking lot of the old town? And to finish this here, but only out of pity.

We, however, our dear administrators, we continue to keep an eye on how we can in order to avoid the PUG will be resolved in your "soon more trouble."
