More than 1.8 thousand. janitors are engaged in cleaning and sprinkling of sand and salt mixture of pedestrian paths, local area, parks and squares.

This was announced today, January 10, by the Deputy Mayor - Director of the Department of Housing and Communal Services Vitaly Miroshnik.

Also, according to him, 36 units of automobile and tractor equipment were involved in the work..

“If there are no new weather surprises, then today or tomorrow we will completely cope with the pedestrian paths in the local area. Work is in full swing, but problematic issues exist. There are, of course, objective reasons for this.. And above all, there is a shortage of wipers, of which we only have a third of the required number.. Many problem areas have arisen near the houses of condominiums. But we are doing everything to bring the territory of the city in order as soon as possible, "

He also said that parked cars interfere with the clearing of intra-neighborhood roads, so specialized equipment cannot go everywhere..

In addition, Miroshnik drew attention to the problem when business entities ignore the cleaning of the adjacent territory, although, according to the Rules for the improvement of the city of Kharkov, they are obliged to clean it.

“Stalls, shops - they are obliged to clean the surrounding area. This is not to say that business is very responsible in this matter.. Therefore, we will react harshly and apply penalties.. The maximum fine is UAH 1,700, "
