Some of the residents of the Kolašina settlement of Lug are outraged because, as they claim, the Municipality is again filling the road next to their houses with earth, instead of finally paving it.
They say that they do not need such street rehabilitation, because when it rains, the dumped material turns into mud, which causes them many problems.
"The local government failed to pave this street in several mandates. If they can't do better, then don't fill the earth and make our lives even more miserable. Now, not only do we need fishing boots to walk down the street, but we'll soon have to carry walking sticks to keep ourselves out of the mud. This no longer makes sense, we are a few hundred meters from the city center, and the conditions are as if we were in the most remote village", claim some locals.
The Communal Enterprise, which repaired the road in Lugo, claims that they did so precisely at the request of the locals. According to director Milivoje Bulatović, they did not fill the critical holes in the street with earth, but bought the material specifically. The plan was, as he explains, to fill the holes with a "tamper" and tampon it.
"Half of the locals ask us to renovate, half prevent us from doing it. I understand their demand that the street be paved, but it has been explained several times so far that it is necessary to wait for the completion of the planning documentation for that part. Without that, there can be no asphalting," Bulatović told "Vijesta".
According to him, Komunalno met the demands of the locals and provided scratched asphalt. Allegedly, the locals promised that they would use the material to fill the holes in the street, but nothing has been done so far.
The local government previously announced that the urban chaos in that neighborhood would be resolved. As promised by the President of the Municipality, Milosav Bulatović, the development of Lug, as well as the creation of conditions for the entire Sports Zone, to which the settlement belongs, to be incorporated into the wider area of the city center, is one of the priorities of the local government.
The development of the Lug settlement, he announced, will be implemented in several phases, one of which is the development of traffic roads.
