As Adelin-FM reported a short while ago, the The situation regarding bulk management in TACAN is indescribable. with the station referring to «fines.».
The Station published reader photos of the vast landfill in Potamos, in the TACAN area.
«All kinds of rubbish scattered within a radius of tens of meters around the bin, and huge piles of cardboard boxes have accumulated outside the compactor. There is a high risk of fire! The rubbish has been blown by the wind into the surrounding fields.» the article reports.
Kythera.News asks once again:
– Were additional bins and containers procured and placed in settlements to accommodate the increased volumes during the summer?;
– Has the municipality made arrangements with an external contractor to collect bulky waste on a more regular basis during the summer months?;
– What about fines? Will they be imposed on offenders, and if so, how will violations be defined and punished? Or was the committee set up solely for show and intimidation?;
Finally, we are struck by the fact that the only solution being promoted is to punish citizens, without the authorities acknowledging their own responsibilities. It is sad. Are ordinary Tsirigotes citizens solely to blame? Perhaps the ideal solution for the municipal authorities is to reduce the island's population to zero, so that there is no rubbish. Maybe that would be «some» kind of solution...
Instead of fines and penalties, wouldn't it be better to take a walk around the local community's bins and report on their condition so that they can be emptied more regularly?.
