December 20, Gomel. The possibility of installing a lift at the entrance, a ramp for the disabled, paving the road between two rural settlements - these and other issues were discussed on December 20 during a reception of citizens and a direct telephone line held by the Chairman of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee Ivan Krupko, BELTA reports.
A resident of the regional center contacted the reception with a question about installing a lift and ramp in one of the houses on the street. Peasant. The city dweller lives on the fourth floor. Her mother uses a wheelchair and cannot go down from the floor to the street on her own.As noted, various options were discussed at a meeting with the applicant the day before. We stopped at a chair for transporting disabled people and helping volunteers. “Work through all the nuances to the end. Take control of the issue,” the governor set the task for those responsible.
As for the ramp, it is impossible to equip it in this house - fire safety requirements will be violated, because the building is an old building, the passages, and the openings in the entrance are narrow.
The city dweller also drew attention to the organization of traffic on the street. Peasant, parking in the courtyard of the house, landscaping. The chairman of the regional executive committee has instructed the city leadership and services to work out the nuances on the topics raised and prepare proposals for resolving issues.
A villager from the village of Tserkov, Gomel region, came with a question about laying asphalt on the road from his village to Lopatino. At the moment, the plot is 500 m in gravel.
As Igor Kravchenko, general DIRECTOR of Gomelobldorstroy, said, the road was built in 1983. “In the autumn and spring, the road actually did not exist. In 2019, the road was overhauled. In fact, it was built anew. Now it meets all standards,” the general director emphasized. According to his information, the traffic intensity on this section is low, the maximum is 216 cars per day.
“We’ll see if we can include the site in the program for 2024. The plan is being formed,” noted Ivan Krupko.
A village woman from Cheretyanka got through to the direct line. She complained that since November it has been impossible to buy MILK at Znamya Rodiny OJSC. “For seven years, I prescribed milk on the farm. 15-20 liters a month. In the summer, when my grandchildren came, I could prescribe 25 liters. From this milk I also made my own kefir , cottage cheese,yogurt . Plus, they stopped bringing bread to our stores from Gomel - now only from Terekhovka,” said the pensioner.
“In order for an agricultural enterprise to sell milk to the population and be responsible for its quality, it needs processing and sales through a store. Banner of the Motherland does not have such an opportunity. A dairy unit or a dairy farm is not the place where milk should be bottled and distributed. This is a question of quality, compliance with all norms and requirements. As for bread, the assortment in stores is varied,” the governor replied.
The Gomel resident who called drew attention to a ditch in the Novobelitsky district of the city, which flows into the Sozh River. “Because of this ditch, there is water under the floors of our houses, everything is damp. The ditch itself is not in proper order. I clean it myself as best I can,” the pensioner described the state of affairs.
“Today specialists will come and show you the situation. And they will see what can be done at this moment,” said Ivan Krupko. He added: a set of flood control measures are being implemented in the region, and design and estimate documentation is being prepared. “And starting next year we will begin implementation. The services are engaged,” the governor added.
A resident of Zyabrovka, Gomel district, contacted the direct line with a request to help clear the roads of snow. Services will arrive at the site shortly.
Residents of the region raised other questions at the reception and during the direct telephone line. Appeals from area residents were taken under control.
