Land for schools: Odesa checks the reduction of lyceums' area

In Odesa, the reasons for changing the area of land plots of educational institutions were considered. The heads of the lyceums explained that the adjustments are related to the clarification of boundaries, the sale of part of the territory and the technical needs of the city.

The relevant issues were considered by the Standing Committee on Spatial Development, Land Management and Regulation of Land Relations of the Odesa City Council.

Among other issues, members of the Standing Committee considered the reasons for changing the area of land plots of the city's educational institutions. The directors of Odesa lyceums explained why the size of the plots had changed. One of the principals emphasized that the total area was changed after clarification. In addition, the lyceum used to include a swimming pool, but in 2002 the pool was auctioned off to private ownership and part of the land plot was allocated to them, so the size has now been changed. Thus, the area was changed by selling the pool.

The lyceum director noted that the pool owners provided the relevant documents, and the land plot was given to them in 2010. When asked how the boundaries of the land plot were formed, they replied that the boundaries were set back in 1982. The situation was also commented on by the Department of Education, which noted that the land plot was formed with the exception of the swimming pool.

Another head of the lyceum also reported changes to the land plot of the educational institution. A green area was separated from the school. As the director explained, there are water pipes and high-voltage cables running through this land plot. And they must be constantly accessible to repair crews, so the school does not use this land.

Recently, at a meeting of the Odesa City Council's Standing Committee on Housing and Utilities, they discussed the city's readiness for the heating season, the state of the energy system, and winterization measures. From November 1 to March 31, Ukraine will have a preferential gas tariff for households approved by the government. According to preliminary estimates, Odesa has sufficient fuel reserves to get through the season without interruptions, unless there is a sharp cold snap.
