Residents of Mykolaiv are complaining about overgrown grass in the areas around their homes and on playgrounds in various parts of the city. They are asking the local authorities to mow the weeds, clear away rubbish and tidy up the courtyards.

They are posting these requests on the Facebook group ‘Contact Centre’ of the Mykolaiv City Council, NikVesti reports.

A resident of the building at 13 Velyka Morska Street reported that the grass near the building and the playground has not been mowed for a long time.

«At the moment, the grass in the courtyard, particularly near the children’s playground, has not been mowed, which causes inconvenience to residents, worsens the sanitary condition of the area and may pose a danger to children. Previous appeals to the housing and communal services department have yielded no results; no measures have been taken,» wrote Tetiana Kudaltseva.

Residents have also drawn attention to the condition of the children’s playground behind the building at 19 Velyka Morska Street. According to them, the area is overgrown with grass and needs clearing.

«The area is heavily overgrown with grass; it needs clearing of rubbish and tidying up. I would like to draw particular attention to the grass cutting. Young thuja trees have been planted in the area near the playground; they are currently short and difficult to see among the grass. Please instruct the workers to mow the grass as carefully as possible so as not to damage or cut down the thuja trees,» writes resident Ihor Maniuta.
