A scandal on Sobornaya Street in Mykolaiv due to tree trimming: intervention by a deputy and the police (video)
On January 7, in Mykolaiv, a scandal erupted over the pruning of plane trees by employees of the communal enterprise "Mykolaiv Parks" on Sobornaya Street.
According to Dmitry Ryabchenko, a freelance employee of the environmental inspection, the municipal workers were engaged in a barbaric destruction of green spaces, which will result in a lack of shade on the main street during the summer, turning it into "just a frying pan." This situation occurred after a similar pruning on the opposite side of the street. An activist filmed large branches that were cut off from the plane trees.
Meanwhile, the communal workers referred to the event as necessary pruning aimed at preventing the fall of dry or hazardous branches.
Deputy Alla Ryazhskiy from the Mykolaiv Regional Council arrived at the scene, who had previously initiated a ban on tree pruning in the city. She accused the municipal workers of incompetence, stating that it was incorrect to trim the formed crowns of mature trees in such a manner.
- You work with our taxes and are harming our city, - stated the deputy.
As a result, the police were called to the incident. Interestingly, both parties filed complaints against each other: the environmental inspectors pointed out the illegality of the municipal workers' actions, while the CP employees informed law enforcement that the inspectors were obstructing their work.
