Sofia Residents Demand Ban on Construction

Business » PROPERTIES | April 25, 2011, Monday // 16:54

Residents of Lyulin, one of the largest neighborhoods of Bulgaria's capital Sofia, gave a press-conference Monday to announce their demands for a ban on construction in their area.

Citizens, gathered in a number of organizations and initiative committees, voiced anger at what they saw as uncontrolled construction encroaching on public space in the neighborhood and additionally worsening their living conditions.

They have sent out letters to the highest state officers, including Parliament Speaker Tsetska Tsacheva, PM Boyko Borisov, and key members of the judiciary.

Citizens request all construction to be frozen until a complete development plan is made for the area, which must be thoroughly inspected by experts and all residents and other stakeholders.
