The introduction of a moratorium on tree pruning in Mykolaiv is meaningless, - Deputy Head of the Housing and Communal Services Department

Members of the Mykolaiv City Council will consider the issue of implementing a three-year moratorium on tree pruning in Mykolaiv - the draft resolution is ready, but it will be pointless.

This became known during a briefing that took place on Friday, January 17.

The Director of the Housing and Communal Services Department, Dmytro Bezdolny, noted that there are three types of tree pruning: formative, sanitary, and rejuvenating. He emphasized that the proposed moratorium, developed at the suggestion of Mykolaiv regional council member Alla Ryazhskikh, specifically prohibits rejuvenating tree pruning.

- This moratorium concerns rejuvenating tree pruning. Pruning can be of three types - formative, rejuvenating, and sanitary. Such practices occur in other cities as well. This draft resolution has been prepared. To be presented at the session, it must pass through the deputies' commissions. But so far, this has not happened. This is a question for the deputies, - said the department director.

His deputy, Ihor Nabatov, emphasized that even if this moratorium is adopted by the city council session, it is still meaningless. According to him, there is no punishment provided for violating this decision.

- We can adopt a moratorium on pruning, whether formative or rejuvenating. We can pass anything in Mykolaiv. But what will the consequences be? None. That is, if there is no accountability for violating this city council decision, then what is the point of this resolution? – said the deputy director of the Housing and Communal Services Department.
