In Židenice, people are bothered by homeless people and drug addicts. The worst is the Old Settlement
According to the people of Brno, there are dozens of problematic localities. “In the past, people lived well around the Old Settlement, now it is suffering for everyone. Drug addicts, homeless people, children begging in front of a store, “complained Miroslava Stuchlíková.
In addition to the Old Settlement, the dreaded places also include Karáskovo náměstí, the bridge in Nezamyslova Street or the Geislerova stop. “The situation is bad in the parking lot in Životský Street. She lives there in a car, the neighborhood is full of rubbish and odor, “described Brňanka Lenka Kratochvílová. People also complain a lot on Markéta Kuncová and Gajdošová streets.
According to the deputy mayor of Židenice, Petr Kunc, the management of the city district is trying to resolve the situation with both social organizations and police officers. “We will call a patrol saying that the homeless drink alcohol in public places and are vulgar, but the same day happens the next day,” he explained.
We consider prevention to be a suitable starting point. “So far we have managed to talk to the people around Krásný Street, in the end they went elsewhere. But the question is, how long will it last or how long will someone else show up. We are dealing with a difficult situation at the church in Gajdošová Street, where he is an aggressive man who refuses to cooperate in any way, “Kunc added.
So far, the management of the city district has found a way out for at least ten people who are said to regularly stay in the gardening area and spread a lot of noise around them. “We have found that they are staying illegally. In this case, we can prevent such behavior precisely by cooperating with police officers and Regular inspections of the area. We will evict the locals from the cottage, then have it demolished here, “outlined the procedure of the deputy mayor of Židenice, Petr Kunc.
Several Brno institutions can help homeless people and people struggling with addictions. At the City Crisis Social Assistance Center, it currently offers daily accommodation from seven o’clock in the evening to seven o’clock in the morning. “We intend to cooperate with the Salvation Army from December. We try to help those in need, but if they do not want to on their own, their approach cannot be changed, “said social worker Martin Řach.
Apart from Židenice, the problems of homeless people and drug addicts also concern the inhabitants of Brno-sever or Brno-střed.
