Livorno, 20 April 2024 – We proceed in small steps. But I decided(vi). A solution must be found, but one of compromise: on the one hand protecting the working needs of traders, on the other those of residents between via Rome And via Cambini compared to the night time entertainment of millennials and Gen Z. As long as the latter does not become a malamovida in the city center, to the detriment of the entire community. The technical table convened yesterday morning by Commissioner Stellino went in this direction: a gradual but timely moral suasion operation with specific measures hopefully decisive with respect to chronic critical issues, which have worsened since March. “Without prejudice to the fact that there are some fixed points, such as the stopping of the music played at midnight as per the municipal regulation, otherwise the sanction will be triggered, the joint controls also with the local police will continue, also with respect to the monitoring of car parks using instruments capable of register license plates”.
The commissioner guarantees that the checks will be “discreet but effective”. Perhaps also due to the presence at yesterday’s table of Arpa technicians, who will be busy on the perpendicular of Via Marradi to measure and verify the levels of noise emissions. But the main issue remains the “unliveability” reported by residents due to the excessive concentration of groups of young people until late at night.
“The situation is delicate – adds Stellino -. We will do our part by deploying these services. Our patrols will be sensitized, and the municipal – present at yesterday’s table with Commander Maritan – will continue to have a particular involvement. So for At the moment no restrictive decisions have been taken, let’s see if with these tools the situation improves. It is clear, a reconnaissance, also with the prefecture, will be carried out by the end of the month”. So what happens if the picture doesn’t change? What could be, in short, a more restrictive measure to be adopted as a last resort? “If we do not arrive at an improved solution, the mayor will be asked to issue an ordinance to change the closing times of the premises or the sale of alcoholic beverages.”
