The deputy mayor intends to meet the users. It is thought to take advantage of a government ban
IVREA. Something is moving for the reclamation and redevelopment of the gardens of San Grato. Even if after years of promises, drone controls and censuses carried out by various administrations, the residents approach the subject with the proverbial lead feet.
On the morning of Wednesday 5 May, the deputy mayor Elisabetta Piccoli carried out an inspection together with the municipal police officers and the municipality official Laura Barison. And he communicated to some of the garden users his intention to hold a meeting in the next few days, before June 4th. The day on which the call for urban regeneration will expire, provided for by the Dpcm of 21 January 2021, which makes available to municipalities between 15 thousand and 50 thousand inhabitants, such as Ivrea, a contribution of up to five million euros for works that have a value for urban and environmental decor.
“We want to finally find a solution to this problem that arises with various administrations that have followed one another – explains Piccoli -, because it is indecent that these lands are in that state. The idea is to do a good job if the financing is granted to activate a project that can also give profit, so that those who make the garden, then, can also resell their products in the markets. Support them if possible with water supply, but above all give rules ».
The minimum objective of the Municipality even in the absence of the state contribution is to put order in the maze of subdivisions and illegal huts built over time and take away all waste, including asbestos, which over the years have been abandoned in the area. “Of course – specifies Piccoli -, we must at least complete the reclamation and a census that has not been done since 2006. It is not our intention to expel anyone, but we want to regularize the situation so that everyone can take care of his garden and no more situations occur like the one that has been going on for years “.
The deputy mayor would have liked to communicate the decision next week to the Spatial Planning Commission. But the signs hanging in San Grato not by the administration but by a mysterious hand made it known ahead of time. In the afternoon, then, the municipal agents arrived to detach them. «I think it was done with the best of intentions – explains Piccoli -, but they didn’t go well. As far as we are concerned, however, we go ahead, because it is a question of public health and justice ”. –
