Residents in Western Carmel complain about the cleanliness of their neighborhood and especially about a lot located at the intersection of Shoshanat HaCarmel and Rakfot streets, which they claim is regularly used for dumping garbage.
"At the corner of Shoshant Carmel and Rakef streets there is a small triangular area, which has several bushes of the goddess of chewing gum," says neighborhood resident Michal, adding: "The area is constantly filled with dirt, people throw construction waste or dog excrement. I contacted the municipality's gardening department to have them clean it up. the area, because at the moment they only come once every few months and that's definitely not enough. The area is regularly dirty, and it gives a very unpleasant feeling.''
"In my opinion, the area should be fenced off and cleaned more often. About two years ago, some people in the area organized and wrote a letter to the municipality about the cleanliness of the streets of Ilanot, Derech Hayam, Harkafot and Shushant Carmel. We complained about the dirt. Mayor Einat Kalish Rotem came with representatives of other departments, they promised that the situation would change, but it did not.'
"A few years ago, there was a feeling that there was someone to turn to. It was a little cleaner," Michal continues, "In the last 5 years, the situation is bad. This is just one sign of what is happening here in the neighborhood, the dirt is all over the neighborhood. We want another bench on Harkafot Street, and no manage to win it. There are elderly people here, and this is the only flat street in the whole neighborhood, so it is important for elderly people. During their walk, they need a bench to rest. The answer I received from public inquiries, is that I have to ask permission from the tenants near the place. I am an old woman, I don't Should do it."
"In my opinion, there is no place to blame the residents here for the fact that there is dirt on the street or at the intersection of the streets. We have a community garden here in the neighborhood, which we have been operating voluntarily for 5 years with very little investment from the municipality. Of course, there are residents who litter, but there are also those who do Very nice work."
In July of this year, we checked the nearby Shoshant HaCarmel street and interviewed the street's resident Amnon Engelberg. He complained about both the dirt on the street and the poor state of maintenance of the street. According to him, every now and then a cleaner comes to the street, and he does his best, but the street is still not clean. Moreover, garbage that is thrown next to the garbage can and not in it can sit near the garbage can for a long time. Another complaint was about the pigs, who often overturn trash cans in the street and the trash stays around, making it impossible to walk on the sidewalk.
I want to talk about:
Lack of cleanliness
Broken sidewalks
Ruined roads
Darkness in the street
Why did we pay property tax?
If the residents had appreciated and understood the importance of cleanliness, the situation would not be like this today,
After all, garbage does not fall from the sky,
People litter, as revenge, because they pay property taxes, and only they suffer, with all the smells, garbage, and diseases...
Then they blame the municipality.
A patient must report to a doctor in order for him to be treated.
If he does not go to the doctor, how is the doctor supposed to know that he is sick?
The same goes for the residents, they must contact and ask for cleaning, and at the same time maintain cleanliness as much as possible...
I'll tell you why....because the municipality and its leaders are waiting for Jonah so that they can return to the celebrations that were with his help and during his time, that's why they want to and do nothing at your expense. So don't you dare choose the season again. But someone else
Not only that, the municipality does not repair roads, for example Lahi Street. The vandals of the litterers should be photographed and punished
It is interesting to know what is the story of Klish, why is there no trash removal in the Hadar neighborhood, everything is filthy, rats, let's see how it would be in the Hadar neighborhood if the entire Hadar neighborhood stopped paying property taxes, to the municipality, and there was one fauda in the entire Hadar neighborhood, Klish I am addressing you personally, do not set fire Ash, just because you're getting weaker in the polls doesn't mean the city should get weaker too, at least before you go leave a clean city, the way you got it
Even in the Neve Shanan neighborhood, the state of cleanliness is not alarming.
It is very upsetting to see trash related to these institutions around the schools in the neighborhood. For example, the "Together" school on Mitzpe Street. Underneath it, on the fence, there are sweatpants and the clothes of the school uniform, dirty and tattered, markers, sports accessories and more. Lack of consideration for the environment, and a pity
I recently returned from a fun performance in the Carmel Center. The dirt is also there, the garbage is rolled in the streets.. It's a shame.. We have such a beautiful city....
I would like to add about the area where I live, Safed Street 4 and Safed 6, the sidewalk and curb are always dirty. The nights are full of traveling cockroaches and here and there mice. All this despite the fact that the stairs are cleaned regularly and we sprayed against cockroaches in the stairwell and the building's sewer openings. The municipality takes care of emptying the trash cans and is negligent in everything else, in our area.
If your neighbor is renovating a house and does not put a container for construction waste, and his workers throw an old kitchen into the garbage can in parts every day, and construction waste is filled in sacks without a container and loaded into a truck or trunk - be sure that it is going to be thrown away pirated and contaminate some garden, wadi or open space. This is the immediate time to complain to the Haifa municipality.
A deadly combination of wild boars + vandals + boyles from Tamma 38 who are looking for a place to throw construction debris...a little in the woods a little in the gardens
Poor people in Haifa must take a loan and leave the country
Why raise complaints about the cleanliness here all the time.
Everyone knows that the municipality does not respond to complaints.
Not only about cleanliness but also about any other issue.
And of course there are no answers because the authority is not functioning.
Even when raising questions in the council there is no answer.
I wish, as an act of protest, property tax payments could be frozen, maybe then the authority would wake up and address the complaints.
Luckily for us, the elections are close.
I have been registered with you for a long time. Why do you always inform me that since I am not registered, my words will only be published after a review. I am registered...
We will check your claim
It is with a heavy heart that I join. Two days ago, after countless complaints from me, the garbage corner on Shaar HaLevanon Street was cleaned. I went through there and all the filth was back in place. At noon I had to park on Yaffe Nof street, towards the Lui Promenade. I returned to the Carmel Center along the Panorama Center building. The section of the street looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. Dump all the way. To remind you, this is the most expensive street in the city where huge sums are collected as property tax payments.
1. The municipality's response will not be accepted!
2. At least in this case cliché is not to blame but those who throw it.
We are not looking for culprits, we are looking for someone to take care of the issue
