How Do You Double Lace Converse

USUAL election promises of the Old Town

As expected, near the regional elections, politicians flood the poor voters lists of things done and things to do. A lot, certainly could not escape administrators of our common, according to tradition, among the many topics dusted off on this occasion, have withdrawn out of the hat also to the old town, and that is how, in a press release dated 23.12.2009, the commissioner said Donatelli ".... the municipal administration in recent years has worked to provide the City Center District and the necessary infrastructure, with the creation of the Piazza San Francesco de Geronimo, of Largo dell'Accoglienza (Via Crispi) and the restructuring of important sites such as Justices of the Peace, the Art Gallery in Piazza Saint Lucia, the former district prison (Torrente del Vento) and bishop's work on the castle, home of the Museum of Ceramics and the prestigious "Ceramics Exhibition" and "Nativity."
Except that, at the same time, namely in the December issue of the monthly local Livu, former Mayor Joseph Vinci, remembered having done to the historic center of Grottaglie, all 'era when fulfilling that function more or less the same thing. So, if one takes into account the fact that since the beginning of the first term Vinci to now about eighteen years have passed, we can say that for our center time has truly stopped. Of course, as stated in the ass. Donatelli said in the statement, should not forget the "significant resources, the approval of the Plan Cervellati were used by many people for the recovery of properties located in the heart of private property (about 84 000 €), and contributions for the renovation of facades in the center of private property (€ 46,000).
On these sums do not make any comment because the facades of the buildings speak for themselves! But to us, however, like to do lists, and since repetita iuvant, especially for the more distracted - and for those who rely on the distraction of others - it is worth remembering, for example
- lying in the drawers of the municipal technical offices now we no longer know how many years, a recovery plan of the old town, which - especially not a little time - it cost, to us citizens, more than 500 million old lira;
- which was built near the old town, paid-up in Hungary, a square useless, if not for dogs, and abandoned, without ever having even been inaugurated, which cost us citizens - is also worth repeating here - € 700,000;
- which were not reached the desired parking or reserved parking spaces are for residents;
- which was not even thought a traffic plan (which claims!), to reduce the transit within the narrow streets of old town, now even allowed to trucks, as long as they manage to get in;
- that there is a cleaning service for common areas, outside of garbage collection, which also is still using a massive truck than spaces available;
- that even you think, even today, the chance to experience a service of waste collection, beginning with its historical center, which, for logistical reasons and for the consistent presence of elderly among the residents, he would have more urgent needs;
- that many bins, in breach of the rules of hygiene, placed under the balconies of the houses, creating no little discomfort to those who live;
- not even perform the work of ordinary maintenance of the road surface, except for the rearrangement of some "chianca" during the procession of San Ciro,
- that the financing of € 3,000,000 in PIRP, which, at least in the intentions, were intended in large part the old town, have gone up in smoke, thanks to a stunning conflict of interest of the mayor, and that funding of € 3 million of ERDF funds and SAF 2007/2013, of which he speaks Donatelli in the popular press, aimed at ' implementation of PIRP, could be used otherwise;
- which, in the three-year plan of public works, the only course of action planned for the town center is the reconstruction of sewer to the sewage, however, limited only to a limited area as falling into it;
- that other money we citizens have been invested to renovate a well, as the Bishop's Castle, which is not even owned by the municipality, but Curia!
- which was created an office of the Piano "ghost" that, once again, has not been previously called, as it was done in accordance with enforcement provisions in the same office, to discuss a topic of direct mail, a the agenda of the City Council of 01.28.2010, namely: "the deliberate choice of financial incentives for the establishment economic activities in the Old Town. "
To this was added the total absence of control by the Police. If you do not go around the wagon-gear, good for making money, a policeman on the street is not seen. And it is this indifference that not even the lead in coordinating the complaint, which has made a life-size figure placed on the street and broke in some places and occasions of great influx of people, led to no reaction. The burning of two cars, happened long ago within the atrium of the Prince's Palace in Piazza Regina Margherita, is further confirmation that now is the center of Grottaglie also become an unsafe place to live
E 'natural, in fact, that in a no man's land, where rules, when there are not enforced, those who are fertile, than if they bump (sample of the atrocities is varied: from air conditioners in plain sight, the obvious illegal occupation of public land, through the building permit violations, and so on). There was a time when these complaints were doing with the hope to raise awareness of those who had the power and duty to do something. Today, as they mutter behind us that it is always the usual aspirations. But, as someone who has faith, prayers sometimes are, and we pray that who until now has managed - bad, bad-go away now. The premises are, just look at the results of the last election meetings, including the recent primaries.
