Deputies of the regional council changed their mind to allocate one and a half million hryvnia to the Citizens Service Center on Shevchenko Avenue. Now this money will go to increase the salaries of the staff of the regional council itself.

In parallel, they decided to spend another 1.5 billion hryvnias to repair 400 kilometers of roads. This year, they promise to hand over 80 kilometers of restored trails.

"First and foremost, this is the continuation and completion of the repair of the Odessa-Reni international road, individual sections in the Odessa region, the Odessa-Kiev highway, which play an important role in the economic connection of the region with other regions. It is also planned to repair the roads Odessa - Voznesensk - Novyi bug, Kodyma - Balta, Spasskoe - Vilkovo, Kuchurgany - Ovidiopol, "- said the director of the department of finance of the Odessa regional state administration Marina Zinchenko.

At the same time, many more roads need to be repaired in the region. But while there is no money for all work. Much of the funding comes from over-fulfillment of customs revenues.

"In the Odessa region, the total length of roads is 8.5 thousand kilometers. In order to repair them all you need approximately 52 billion hryvnia, "- said the head of the Odessa regional council Anatoly Urbansky.
