Novosibirsk will hold a rally against the construction of a garbage plant

Novosibirsk will reach a rally against the construction of a garbage plant. The object may appear in the village of Razdolnaya under the concession agreement.

The rally is scheduled for April 2. The action will be held on Lenin Square, Taiga.info told the organizers.

The event was agreed by 2.5 thousand people, specified in the city hall. The action will begin at 12:00 (08:00 Moscow time).

A similar action took place on March 5, when ecologists, as well as representatives of Yabloko and the Communist Party, protested in the center of Novosibirsk. According to the regional branch of Yabloko, the deputy chairman of the party Nikolai Rybakov, who oversees the ecological block, is going to come to the next rally.

In 2016, the Novosibirsk Ministry of Housing and Public Utilities entered into a concession agreement with Ecology-Novosibirsk LLC for the construction of garbage sorting complexes and training grounds in Razdolny and Verkh-Tula. The project is designed for 40 years, the income of the investor compensates for the regional budget.

The initiative group “Help River Podreva” sent letters to the Governor, the regional government, the prosecutor’s office, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Novosibirsk Region, the authorized representative of the President of Russia in the Siberian Federal District, the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and other departments on the need to conduct an audit on the fact of planning the placement of the complex on this site. More than 4 thousand signatures were collected for the transfer of planned construction from the River Basin.

Taiga.info wrote how, during the public hearings, their dissatisfaction was expressed by the upcoming construction site by people living or owning a summer house next to the Rivalum.

Ecology-Novosibirsk, in turn, assures that the complex will not cause damage to the environment, and will also not load the regional budget with additional expenses.
