The Czech media outlet Deník’s civic project, ‘Starosto, vyřeš to!’ (Mayor, solve it!), has entered its final voting phase. The initiative, which spans 70 regional websites, encourages citizens to nominate and vote on the most pressing local issues and ‘shameful’ neglected areas in their districts ahead of municipal elections.

As voting progresses, several specific regional concerns have emerged. Infrastructure decay is a major theme, with residents highlighting the state of bus stations in Jičín and Kutná Hora, as well as unsafe pedestrian crossings in Benešov and Tachov. Public safety and social issues, such as homelessness and drug use near train stations in Hodonín, Jablonec, and Havířov, are also prominent. 

Other localized complaints include inadequate parking in Žďár nad Sázavou and Jindřichův Hradec, the lack of outdoor swimming pools, and the poor condition of historical sites or public spaces, such as the Klatovy Jesuit seminary or the Vajgar pond. The project intends to present these selected priorities to newly elected municipal leaders in October to address long-standing issues that have remained unaddressed for years.
