Pd attack on the Ugo Pisa: “The administration stops fighting and returns the park to the citizens”
MASSA – “The citizens of Massa, students, sportsmen, simple amateurs and tourists, from the summer of 2021 can no longer enjoy the coolness that the Ugo Pisa Park offered them, which is currently located in a sorry state, with dry, tall grass and with equipment surrounded by tape because it cannot be used ». Thus began the communiqué of the group to advise of the Democratic Party in Massa, signed by the 4 councilors Gabriele Carioli, Alessandro Volpi, Stefano Alberti and Giovanni Giusti. The dem return to denounce the state of neglect to which the park of Ugo Pisa is left, a historic meeting point for sportsmen and tourists a stone’s throw from the sea.
“The central part of the park has been partially cleared, but it has nothing to do with using the paths you cross to practice sports, motorcycles, simple walks in the open air: these are activities that everyone attends, and it was the seat of important sporting events and events of various kinds. Today, such as 2022, is a disaster in the face of we continue to listen to the excuses of the current administrators in the committees who, as the only argument, after four years, point the finger at those of before. – add the exponents of the PD – Well, the former ones, center-left arrived, from Volpi to Neri, have never closed the Ugo Pisa park for so long, which over the years has always been seen by the aforementioned administrations related maintenance. Starting from the fences, fences made and redone many times, from the installation of games for children, from tools to practice sports, from the cutting of the grass, from the construction and maintenance of the rooms used as toilets, always open, from the cleaning of more hidden parts of the pine forest, up to the constant cutting of the grass: certainly much more could have been done, but it has never been closed for so long and in these conditions ».
“We also remember that in the pre-summer period of 2016 the entire pine forest was the subject of a major cleaning operation, elimination of dangerous plants and safety measures, an accurate intervention followed by agronomists and the prefectural public entertainment commission, all in spectacle of the Revolution Camp, a large campsite of young university students (thousands) who for a week, from 29 July to 6 August, were hosted in the park together with many Italian artists including Max Gazzè, the Nuclear Tactical Penguins and others. We are not in this silence because it is not true that nothing has ever been done and because the citizens of Massa, young people, sportsmen, the elderly who frequented the park want to go back to using it. – dem conclude – The administration stops pretending to argue and use the resources necessary to open the whole to citizens; it is enough to throw away resources to grant departments and proxies, concentrate those that exist and proceed to arrange the beloved park: the outcome of a tender cannot be expected with long and uncertain times ».
