VIDEO | Instead of a parking lot, the center of Tetovo got a new landfill
A mini wild dump has sprung up in the space between the four buildings ten meters from the square in Tetovo, better known as the buildings at "Cheshel". The piles of garbage accumulated after the municipal authorities made a decision to remove the tin garages of the tenants of this neighborhood, after which, according to their promises, the location will be immediately transformed into a parking space. The promise did not come true, the garages were removed, but waste is being accumulated on the site daily by unscrupulous citizens.
– They gave us solutions to remove the garages with a deadline. Several weeks have passed since that deadline, they are nowhere to be found and instead of a zoned parking lot, it has become a landfill. We did not receive anything from the municipality, and they demanded that the garages be removed within seven days. We respected that. And now he comes with a vehicle, parks it, throws two or three bags of garbage and leaves. Let him do what he wants, just to fix this. Yes, we need a parking lot, why are there many vehicles, and vehicles are coming from the side. Let them put a ramp or let's put it ourselves, to solve the problem once and for all - Goran Nikoloski, a tenant in building number 4 in "Chesel", told us.
Jonuz Dauti, a resident of this neighborhood says that they have privatized the yard where garbage is now piling up.
- We from the second entrance of number 7, 16 owners, have bought 1.400/1.500 square meters of our land, the municipality cannot make a parking lot. We demand that this garbage be cleared, people forced to demolish the garages and left this garbage. To clear it up and allow us to put up a ramp, no wild parkers here, to get in and out. Let him come to clean up his garbage as he promised in the election campaign. The elections are coming, let him think about whether he will get a vote here. This problem needs to be solved. He cannot park on other people's land. Let him allow people to buy their land, let's put a ramp on the rest - says Jonuz Dauti.
The tenants once again appealed to the municipal authorities to convert the place into a parking lot as soon as possible, because in their neighborhood there is a big traffic jam with the parking lot, because it is a location in the strict center of Tetovo.
- There was a fire in this building, even the Fire Department cannot pass through parked vehicles. Of the entire shopping complex that has shops, 90 percent have their vehicles parked here. From our buildings there are 10-15 percent of cars. There is nowhere to park, let it be with payment, we will pay, zoned as they called it, let it be marked, annual payment and the show is over, that's the easiest thing. They demolished garages here and it became a whole dump - said Gligurieski.
For the time being, there is no answer from the Municipality of Tetovo as to how and when the problem in this Tetovo settlement will be solved.
