Meetings with citizens continue Adriana Poli Bortonecandidate for mayor of the centre-right a Lecce.
The senator was in this morning San Lazzaro district and visited the Coni sports field – Santa Rosacollecting reports and proposals.
Broken pavements, dangerous intersections (especially the one between via Regina Elena and via Catalani) – a note reports – and many other defaillances have been reported by those who live and work in San Lazzaro, residential neighborhood a stone’s throw from the center.
«Traders complain a lot for the new arrangement of the small square which may be aesthetically pleasing but has had and continues to have a devastating impact on trade – says Adriana Poli Bortone -. It seems that in this city, in the center as well as on the outskirts, there has been a ferocity against traders by the Administration. On the other hand, residents complain about the “massacre” of trees. In fact, they have been for a few weeks interventions have begun to cut down the pine trees considered dangerouspractically the vast majority of the trees present in the area that have always characterized it.”
Poli Bortone recalls that «when, twenty years ago, I was in government of the city and we had to proceed with the felling of the pine trees in Viale dell’Università, there were exponents of the left who chained themselves to the trees, as a sign of protest. Here I didn’t see chains but I saw that many trees were cut down, without a single shot being fired. I at least hope that the trunks are cut appropriately, because in the state in which we see them now, there is a risk of tripping and above all, I hope that new plants that are not as invasive as the pines are planted and that they are watered, cared for and pruned to perfection. And to these factors that worsen the quality of life in the neighborhood is added what is now a constant that reigns supreme wherever we go – he concludes – the lack of listening by municipal administrators».
