Usmate-Velate: new baskets in via Volta and the Municipality asks for a civic sense

“The Municipality took charge, once again, of carrying out a maintenance intervention in via Volta, where too many times people who have no respect for public facilities had destroyed the rings and nets of the baskets, preventing everyone else from being able to enjoy in a free way – he claims Lucia Traversi, managing director of Sport – Now we rely on people’s civic sense: respect is needed to avoid further expenditure of money which, in a moment like the present one, would be difficult to implement in the short term ”.

“The maintenance aspect involves a considerable effort at an economic level which then ends up penalizing those who only want to be able to use public spaces and public structures in full compliance with them. – adds the councilor Traversi – To date, Velate has two spaces in which to practice basketball in perfect condition: in addition to the one in via Volta, the one in via Verdi is also open, where it is possible to compete in three-on-three matches. Towards both, we ask only to have respect and to enjoy them thinking only of living aggregative moments in the open air. Not only that: on the part of the users, I invite them to respect the timetables and the presence of the people who live around these meeting places “.
