A new gym at the service of “Carella” nursery and primary school of Piacenza, sacrificing a green area? There is discontent among the city centre-left regarding the construction of another building dedicated to sporting activities. A part of the majority, which since the beginning of the mandate has been characterized by a strong environmental sensitivity, would have requested some clarifications from the councilor for urban planning Adriana Fantini and public works, Matteo Bongiorni. The idea of giving up square meters of greenery – on the school grounds, in via Buozzi and via Lanfranco – to build a new building, although this was requested by the school in 2022, to meet the needs of the students, who are growing and today reach 344 students. Furthermore, the area has recently been the subject of a planting of new trees last year, which are currently in the growth phase. This is why advisors like Sergio Ferri (Pd), Matteo Anelli (Pc Coraggiosa) and Claudia Gnocchi (Civica Tarasconi) they have asked the Administration for explanations and do not look favorably on the intervention, which is based on a plan financed by the Pnrr. The association is also on a war footing “Legambiente”. The commission gave the OK, with many abstentions, to the change of intended use (from public green spaces to school equipment). The ball now passes to the City Council.
Ok in commission – these without discussions – also to two other changes of intended use. A piece of land in via Bagarotti will become a car park serving the Bertocchi sports center (from public green to public car parks). In via Botti in Mortizza, however, a piece of land will become a car park serving the nearby church.
