Less than a third of respondents from Lutsk positively assessed the government's policy in the field of housing and communal services. These are the results of a telephone survey conducted last weekend in Lutsk by the Agency for Social Analysis USotsium-XXIF. According to the Agency's specialists, almost 53% of respondents assess the government's housing and communal policy as unequivocally negative. Therefore, even for Lutsk — a city known for significant successes in the field of reforming the housing and communal sector — the traditional problem of "komunalka" remains acute. Today, at an operational meeting, Lutsk Deputy Mayor Leonid KyryLchuk voiced his view on the reasons for this state of affairs. It is worth noting that the city's housing and communal services fall precisely within his administrative competence. Leonid Oleksiiovych shared his impressions from participating in an expanded meeting on issues of reforming housing and communal services, which took place in Odesa in the presence of Prime Minister of Ukraine V. Yanukovych. According to the official internet portal of the Lutsk City Council, L. KyryLchuk "did not hide pessimism regarding state policy in the sphere of providing housing and communal services. The discussion concerned, specifically, financing from the state budget and its reserve fund for emergency facilities. Among the most problematic of these in Lutsk are the comprehensive treatment facilities and the steel sewage collector. Their deterioration threatens a technogenic catastrophe of regional significance." Leonid KyryLchuk says that in the capital's corridors of power they do not hide — the principle of distributing "emergency funds" comes down to the political alignment of forces — for a district where a people's deputy represents the opposition, funds will not be given. In a word, if you elected a people's deputy "not from those" political forces — then let your city's infrastructure fall apart... It turns out that indeed one can bring everything under big politics, even sewage systems and treatment facilities! Opposition deputy from the Lutsk majoritarian district Volodymyr Bondar ("Our Ukraine") expressed his satisfaction with the deputy mayor's position. At today's press conference in Lutsk, Volodymyr Bondar noted that now the local authorities also understand the true essence of the government's policy toward citizens. Incidentally, according to the results of the already mentioned survey by the "Sotsium-XXI" Agency, even fewer Lutsk residents positively assess the activity of Yanukovych's Government overall than those who see positives in "komunalka" — about a quarter of respondents.
