Residents of St. Petersburg on their own bought 250 kilograms of sand for sprinkling slippery sidewalks

Residents of Kolomna (historical district of St. Petersburg) ordered 250 kilograms of sand for their money. They plan to give it to the townspeople who are ready to sprinkle slippery streets on their own.

"Come with buckets, bags, scoops and blades. You can at least come by car and take a lot to your part of the area. The only condition is to scatter it along the streets and send us photos. It is clear that this is not a systematic solution and all things, but at least something. And then it’s impossible to walk along the streets." - the activists wrote .

The consequences of poor cleaning of the city

On the uncleaned snow, icicles and ice in St. Petersburg have been complaining since December last year. On the eve of social networks, a video appeared from the reception department of the St. Petersburg Ambulance Research Institute named after Dzhanelidze, on which you can notice patients with bruises and fractures on couchs. The authors assure that every day 30-50 people with injuries from behind ice enters the hospital every day.

The medical institution explained that this is the total number of patients who were delivered per day. They have various causes of injuries. Half of them-20-25 people were hospitalized, they need operations. And the rest were sent home for treatment.

It was also reported that on January 14, 85 people entered the trauma department and 47 people in neurosurgery. "This is the total number of received, not only with injuries received when falling on ice. But mainly, of course, because of this," the hospital said .

The original solution to the problem of cleaning St. Petersburg from snow was proposed by the deputy of the city Legislative Assembly Boris Vishnevsky. He called for sending the sidewalks of the Rosgvardamy and police officers to clean the sidewalks.

If the citizens tried to hold a rally against the disgusting cleaning of the city, there would be thousands of Rosgvardists and police officers immediately to disperse them and block the streets. So let them direct them to clean the sidewalks. I proposed this three years ago. I propose now.

Rubbish rubble

The problem of snow collapse in the thaw is aggravated by an unsuccessful start of the garbage reform. The Nevsky Ecological Operator, which is engaged in garbage collection, stated that problems with garbage appeared due to New Year's holidays and Petersburgers, who forced the cars to enter the garbage cans.

In the first 10 days of January, the State Housing Inspectorate conducted more than 1000 inspections and recorded about 380 violations related to the removal of waste from container sites. Almost 6 thousand complaints were received on the hot operator’s hotline for the New Year holidays.

Based on the results of the inspections of GZHI, about 60 administrative cases were initiated in relation to officials and legal entities, including on and on the MSW recruiter itself.
