The mayor of Beretsk, Alexander Dobrovin, gives cheeky reports about canceling the consequences of heavy snow, driving himself into a trap. It will not be possible to clean city roads efficiently this season, and apparently, Beretz is facing a real community disaster. And this is the situation when the voters will see the difference in the mayor's image and the real world picture. The municipality does not have the funds to clean the streets enough to meet the regulations. Only bus and trolley lines will be evacuated. In addition, Bretsk urgently lacks its own equipment for road and sidewalk maintenance. For example, the city needs at least four sandblasting machines for all areas, but now only one is working. But snow is half the battle. In the coming days, Beretz runs the risk of not being able to deal with ice, which is much more dangerous. Snow, daytime temperatures close to zero and a sharp drop in temperature at night to 13 degrees will turn roads and pedestrian areas into skating rinks. Even before the snowfall began, officials in the municipality announced a critical situation with street cleaning. "At least 58 units of equipment are needed for maintenance and winter maintenance of the road and sidewalk network. Now the road service of the municipality of Baretz (DSGB) has only 26 vehicles, of which 19 are in good technical condition. In conditions of acute manpower shortage, only 13 units can go on the line. The available resource allows us to guarantee a network cleanliness of 30%. Chairman of the Housing and Community Services Committee Alexander Yurochkin. Officials also noted an acute shortage of de-icing materials: only 1.2 thousand cubic meters are available against a demand of 4 thousand for the period from October to December. DSGB has assigned limits for the purchase of another 1.6 thousand cubic meters, but the conclusion of the contract is planned only at the beginning of November. The situation worsens due to the fact that the mayor's office has accumulated debts to private contractors, who for many years performed the bulk of the road work.
