Five hryvnias for entry: Chernihiv decided to charge a fee from “strangers” for access to the shelter

In Chernihiv, residents of a five-story building proposed charging money from “strangers” for using the shelter. The idea caused a wave of indignation among residents of a neighboring building.

In Chernihiv, an announcement appeared on Pyatnytska Street regarding the introduction of a paid entrance to the shelter. Residents who do not live in this building were offered to pay 5 hryvnias each for access to the shelter, which is located in a five-story building. The collected funds were planned to be spent on improving the sanitary condition of the premises. Suspilne reported this.

Women living in a nine-story building located ten meters from the shelter said that their shelter was not equipped or was partially rented out. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, women have been using the shelter in a five-story building. However, they were later banned from entering the country.

“They say there are toys and canned goods there; that’s why they closed it. We even called the police to open it during the alarm,” says one of the women. In her opinion, charging money for access to the shelter is unacceptable, especially in a city that is periodically shelled.

The idea of paying for entrance belonged to the former building manager. According to her, it was only a proposal for discussion, which was eventually withdrawn from consideration. “Since everyone has a key, whoever goes to the shelter opens it. Whoever wants to goes in. No one is banned. And at the beginning of the war, it was always open,” she said.

According to her, the residents of the neighboring building do not want to deal with arranging their shelter. There are cases when the residents of their building do not go to the shelter and, therefore, do not open it.

The Desnianske utility company explained that the residents themselves decide how to use the common property. The KP does not finance the shelter but can provide support if the residents themselves initiate it. Viktor Prygara, the head of the enterprise, noted that there were no appeals from residents of the nine-story building on Peremohy Avenue.

We remind you that the editorial office of “StopKor” received a letter reporting regular violations of the law by Judge Valentyna Antipets of the Chernihiv Court of Appeal. It talks about decisions that allow drunk drivers to avoid punishment.
