A dispute over waste management is continuing in Jelgava Municipality. Residents of Ozolnieki and the municipal authorities have disagreed for several months.
What residents are asking for
About 700 residents have signed a collective petition addressed to the municipal council. It makes three main demands: a review of the fee for waste management services, an audit, and an open procurement procedure.
The council's decision
The petition was considered at a council meeting on Wednesday. Council members did not back the residents' demands, so the dispute remains unresolved.
The available information does not say how residents plan to proceed or what reasons the council gave for its decision.
