Czech municipalities face citizen-voted priority issues
The Deník media project ‘Starosto, vyřeš to!’ (Mayor, solve it!) has entered its final voting phase across the Czech Republic. The initiative invites citizens to nominate and vote on the most pressing local issues and ‘shameful’ neglected areas in their districts. These selected priorities will be presented to newly elected municipal leaders following the upcoming local elections.
Across various regions, nominated problems include infrastructure decay, such as the state of bus stations in Jičín and Kutná Hora, and unsafe pedestrian crossings in Benešov and Tachov. Public safety and social issues, including homelessness and drug use near train stations in Hodonín, Jablonec, and Havířov, are also prominent themes. Other concerns raised by residents include inadequate parking in Žďár nad Sázavou and Jindřichův Hradec, the lack of outdoor swimming pools, and the poor condition of historical buildings or public spaces like the Vajgar pond or the Klatovy Jesuit seminary. The project aims to bridge the gap between residents and local government by highlighting issues that have remained unaddressed for years.
