More parks, squares, small green spaces and… bus stops surrounded by plants – will this be the result of the recently announced UMWŁ scholarship competition? The local government in the area wants to support the communes in activities that increase the amount of green space in public spaces. Tasks that will be completed this year.

“Polish dzki Park” – this is the slogan of the competition announced by the local government of dzki oblast and addressed to the municipalities. Regional authorities assume that more green areas must be found in smaller cities and towns, and they want to support related projects. Activities for which support can be obtained include the construction of parks, squares, flower alleys, etc., as well as green elements of building infrastructure.

150 thousand PLN for example for the vicinity of bus stops

Among the possible tasks to be performed, the Marshal’s Office also mentions “green breakpoints”. – We want to help decorate our area, make it green and make it more beautiful from now on – comments Grzegorz Schreiber, Marshall of Lodz County. The sum of subsidies to lower level self-governments is 3 million PLN.

Another “green” element may be the tram tracks

Another 2 million PLN will be allocated from the county budget to promote environmental activities, education and organization of picnics along with tree planting. As part of them, at least 150 thousand. the plants. The supposed effect of the activities is to change the perception of the area and note that it is rich and interesting in terms of nature.

Although the Marshal’s office did not directly indicate such a possibility, tram tracks are another component of the infrastructure that could be greened. So far, we do not know if any of the municipalities will submit projects indirectly related to the operation of public transport in competition.
