Anne Hidalgo
The mayor of the French capital, Anne Hidalgo has proposed to the city Council a program of pollution control of the city. It is reported by Le Journal du Dimanche.
As writes the edition, the current plan of the city Chapter is a continuation of announced a year ago, campaign for cleaning the streets of trash. According to Hidalgo, these measures have yielded some results, but work in this direction should be expanded.
We are talking about allocation of additional means for cleaning debris from city streets, increasing the number of people employed in this field, as well as the program of rodent control — mice and rats. In rodents, the city authorities intend to allocate half a million euros.
On 17 February this year it was reported that the city authorities abolished the penalty for a young Parisian woman, which was accused of dumping rubbish in a public place —the French left on the bench read a book.
In September last year, French authorities created a special Department to combat anti-social behaviour of citizens and tourists. In particular, the controllers have obtained the right to punish those who throw cigarette butts, gum and other debris on the pavement, not in the ballot box. The amount of the fine for such violation is 68 euros.
