The worried inhabitants began to collect signatures: here’s absurdity

« And so we have thermal networks near – constant smoke, dust, particulate matter, and now the waste is now – it will be a smell, particles, everything else, » said Giedrė Rašinskienė from Šiauliai.

« All kinds of waste, including plastic and food waste, will incinerate here. No one knows what compounds will eventually occur when you go out, because you will not clean 100 % of any pollution, » said Rimvydas Kazlauskas from Šiauliai.

« Just near – 800 meters, to the nearest home 300 meters. The Rėkyva recreational area is no kilometer. It would be absurd here in the middle of the city, to bring a ton of garbage, » said Artūras Kremerauskas from Šiauliai.

LNK stop shot.

« They will be tanned to produce as much efficiency as possible. Imagine what the odors should be, » Kremauskas explained.

« Our wealth, we are residents, we have freedom, fresh air, clean water. Wait, after all, everything will drain into wells or wells, » emphasized Juozas Staponkus from Šiauliai.

The smoke from the power plant would reach three quarters of Šiauliai residential houses. They have a lot of new construction houses and young families with children. Šiauliai residents fear about their own health and children’s health.

« In the city we have a lot of pollution sources, we have often exceeding boundary rates. We really do not need another source of pollution. That waste can be processed in other ways, » said Zakiras M havedov, a member of Šiauliai Council.

« Who will ensure that they will actually not break those planned standards? Who will check them? When obtaining permits, they make a very nice place to comply with the norms and everything, but will it be implemented? » – explained G. Rašinskienė.

« As a gym is a sport, so each activity must be assigned an appropriate area where the pollution spreads. The chimney is expected to be 24 meters, which will fall on the dwelling quarters, » Kazlauskas said.

People are angry that information about the new structure in the municipality was not published before. According to the people of Šiauliai, the feeling that the government wanted to make a silence. But the mayor is defending.

« There is a normal procedure – the Ministry of the Environment begins to do that procedure, it asks to publish certain information on the website and has since begins to calculate the time when you have a conclusion back, » said Šiauliai Mayor Artūras Visockas.

And asserts that in the middle of the city, the municipality will not allow any new power plants to build.

« I can reassure – as long as I do this job, there will be no such things because it is just anti -ologic. Even if there was only biofuel or a lathe petals, there would be no, » said the mayor of Šiauliai.

After learning about « new neighbors », Šiauliai people immediately began collecting signatures and expressing their contradiction.
