Interim mayor resumes daily programme for hearing Chisinau residents

General interim mayor Veaceslav Iordan held a hearing of a number of citizens and economic entities, resuming the practice that existed earlier at the capital’s City Hall and suspended when the Information and Documentation Centre for citizens opened last summer. According to a press release from the City Hall’s PR Division, during the hearing Chisinau residents sought the municipal authorities’ support in solving the problems they confront with. The petitioners have mainly referred to the issue of ensuring with dwelling space or allotting land for building houses. The petitioners have focused on other issues too, as the support from the municipality to design and perform works for tap water and natural gas supply, construction of the engineering networks, authentication of the plot of land or prolongation of the land rent contract, demolition of the booths and the problem of stray dogs etc. As the same source says, the interim mayor promised that all the petitioners’ proposals and requests will be examined in detail and solutions to them will be found. Iordan specified that there will be created working groups that will go to the scene and solve the existent problems without delay. The City Hall of Chisinau municipality started to admit citizens to audience in mid-February, under an ordinance by interim mayor Veaceslav Iordan. The hearings are held daily, from 8.00 am to 12.00 pm and 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm. The ordinance prescribes that each subdivision of the City Hall shall designate a person responsible of the petition examination and hearing of citizens. According to the City Hall’s schedule, the interim mayor will have audiences on the fourth Monday of the month, from 2.00 pm to 7.00. Vice mayor Petru Svet will hold audiences on the second Monday, while vice mayor Alexandru Corduneanu on the third Monday, at the same hours. Earlier, according to an ordinance by former interim mayor Vasile Ursu, the Information and Documentation Centre for citizens, where people in charge within municipal services are working daily, opened on July 13, 2006, in an attempt to facilitate the citizens’ access to public services and eliminate corruption from the capital’s administration.
