Issues of housing and communal services, use of family capital, and improvement of the Bilevo-3 microdistrict. Sergey Levkovich held a reception for citizens in Vitebsk
Two residents of Vitebsk, living in a multi-story building on Titova Street, came to the reception with the President's Aide. One of them, who lives on the first floor, shared the problems faced by the residents:
– Due to a leak in the basement, there is an unbearable smell in the apartments. Recently, there was a sewage system failure – all its contents ended up in the toilet and bathtub. The emergency service eliminated the malfunctions and cleared the external networks.
The Chairman of the City Executive Committee, Alexey Geroyev, confirmed that the problem is known and the external networks have indeed been inspected. However, according to him, the situation requires further attention.
– Violations are often detected in this building when foreign objects are removed from the sewage system, – he noted.
– Some neighbors use the sewage system as a trash can, and it is difficult to find those responsible. Our task is to convince the residents to use the benefits of civilization correctly. If accidents do occur, the services must respond promptly, – said Sergey Levkovich, emphasizing the importance of prompt response from utility services in this case.
The President's Aide instructed to develop measures to eliminate the unpleasant odor from the basement and apartments.
The second resident, a mother of many children, raised the issue of using maternity capital to buy a house.
– I am raising six children alone, and I would like to buy a house so that they can spend time outdoors and get hardened, as the children often get sick, – she said.
A representative of the regional executive committee's labor, employment, and social protection committee explained that the maternity capital had already been partially used, but there is still an opportunity for early use of the remaining amount. However, for this to happen, the applicant must be registered as needing to improve housing conditions. In this specific situation, the woman already owns two apartments in Vitebsk in the Bilevo microdistrict and on Titov Street.
– The state has fulfilled its obligations to provide your family with housing, – noted the President's aide. He added that to purchase a dacha, the woman should consider other options, such as a loan, and also pay attention to other areas of using maternity capital that may be no less important.
