"All hope is on you", or why the Governor of the Vitebsk region receives calls even from Gomel?
Who thinks there are too many complainants? Have the authorities really forgotten about the DSK microdistrict in Vitebsk? When will those responsible for the fire at the "Belarus" shopping center be punished? What will happen to "Vitebchanka"? Will the store in the agro-town of Kruglyany be closed? How to deal with a smoking neighbor?
Three hours, 27 callers, and only one complaint about roads, traditional reproaches regarding the work of the housing and communal services, and issues of improvement. The head of the Vitebsk region, Alexander Subbotin, held a direct telephone line.
New Old Orekhovo
The first call was from the Orekhovo microdistrict in Vitebsk. If previously new settlers had approached the management with issues of utility development, this time a resident of a long-established block asked for help. The woman's house has a solid fuel boiler, she lives alone, and due to her age, it is difficult to constantly carry peat briquettes, while neighbors in new buildings use electricity to heat their homes. So she asks for assistance so that the benefits of civilization reach the old-timers as well.
The Vitebsk City Executive Committee is already working on resolving this issue to help connect the existing development to the transformer substation. Briefly and very simply: first, the issue with documents needs to be resolved – to combine the existing long-standing houses and the new block into one microdistrict. Then, designers and energy specialists will get to work (replacement of power lines with more powerful ones with increased cross-section is required). The process is, of course, not quick, but it is underway. An intermediate result can be assessed by October 1. We are confident that electric heating will definitely come to Orekhovaya Street.
