The Konoplyanska rural amalgamated hromada of Ivanivka Rayon of the Odesa Oblast purchased machinery for its own communal enterprise “Rosenfeld” in the amount of over UAH 1.7 million, reported the Odesa Local Government Development Centre, established with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe Programme and MinRegion, with reference to the information of Ievheniya Burlakova, AH deputy head.

Thus, the hromada purchased two tractors, a snow-clearing machine, a mower, garbage removal trailer and branches’ shredder.

Since early January, the newly acquired equipment has already been in use: the hromada is clearing the abandoned roadsides between villages. According to the local residents, despite the fact that these roads are the roads of rayon significance, such work has not been carried out here for decades, and only one out of two lanes was free from weeds.

It should be noted that the Konoplyanska AH was formed at the end of 2016 and became the first amalgamated hromada in the Ivanivka Rayon.
