Don't give up! Graduation at your local school, a forest, and a crossing were defended by residents of the regions.
Sometimes solving even the smallest problems requires incredible effort in battling bureaucracy or other obstacles. But people don't give up.NotMoscow" tells about these small but important victories.
👍Graduation is at my home school. In the village of Orgtrud, Vladimir region They saved the high school from closure. Parents learned about the problem 12 days before the start of the school year from the deputy mayor. Elena ZaprudnayaAccording to her, only 15 children wanted to go to 10th grade, but there should be at least 25 students, otherwise the school will be underfunded.
Parents were outraged: their children would have to wake up much earlier and take long journeys to the regional center on regularly breaking-down buses, returning home after dark. The stress would negatively impact their behavior and academic performance.
Zaprudnaya listened to the parents and promised leave the final classes in their home school;
👍Authorities decided to cut down 1740 cubic meters of forest near Karelian village of Kaalamo The trees were supposed to be used as firewood for local residents, their homes, and outbuildings. Residents objected, saying they needed the forest for their daily lives—for recreation, mushroom and berry picking. It also protected people from strong winds and dust from the crushed stone plant. The head of the Karelia Ministry of Natural Resources Yanina Svidskaya I heard people and announced that another area was found for felling;
👍Residents of the villages of Samosdelka and Khmelevka Astrakhan region They achieved a reduction in the cost of the ferry crossing. It wasn't easy. Initially, people were left without transportation at all: municipal contractors abandoned the route, and private transport proved unaffordable for rural residents. They appealed to Putin's hotline, and the People's Front, the municipality, and the Investigative Committee got involved. The authorities signed a contract with a new contractor, who reduced the cost from 180 to 22 rubles per trip. The municipality is also looking for a contractor for passenger transportation.
