At the next meeting of the city council building promises to be a stormy discussion, because councilors are about extreme views. To all require their suspicion and resentment of the Office for Planning, which prepares local zoning plans.

On Monday, city council session fell complaint is that it works as dictated by developers. Councillors expelled from the order of a few sessions with those resolutions, which aroused their suspicions. Among the resolutions was the plan, the adoption of the owner of the Galaxy opens the way to expand the center. Investor – Echo Investment – as has already been shown visuals of the new gallery, which would stand on the ground after the Neptune. The company bought it from Orbis and demolished. The three-storey gallery having about 15 thousand. square meters of retail space (the old part of the Galaxy is 42 thousand sq. m.) was created in 2015.

The formal justification for ejection from the session said the resolution is the result of last week’s meeting of a committee of the city council building. It turned out that the District Council gave its opinion on the Centre is a local plan, but only “took note” of the visuals extension Galaxy.

– Besides, we can in a frantic pace, without discussion to enact a plan that has an impact on image and character of the city center – draws attention councilor Hinc Law and Justice Thomas. – The more that what was presented by the investor and visualization, I do not like.

– expecting different solutions and ideas for this place than the Galaxy times two – speak directly councilor Mark Duklanowski (with PiS) . – This investment is rubbish to downtown and the dream of his recovery, restoring commercial nature in areas such as st. Jagiellonian whether al. Polish Army. This part of the already seriously damaged as a r esult of the construction of the Galaxy, and then cascades. Extension of the shopping center is sucked debris capital, which is still published in the downtown.

According to Councillor Margaret Jacyny-Witt (Non-attached Member) shopping malls “has sucked life from the streets of Szczecin,” and now we have to deal with the war between Galaxy and Cascade.

– It would be best if the city itself created the conditions for a more attractive downtown, it would just be competition for these objects – said Ma?gorzata Jacyna-Witt. – Except that the authorities have no idea Szczecin to downtown, there is attractively fitted out public spaces and walkways are equal only at these centers.

Meanwhile, the councilors of the building committee representing the PO and the SLD see no obstacles to the development of the Galaxy . – Worse conditions for trade in the city center it can not – says Judith Lemm of the OP.

– Any investment in the center of Szczecin worth tens or hundreds of millions Szczecin is needed – say, in turn, Councillor Peter K?sik (SLD) , who also pointed out that it would be something frivolous blocking extension Galaxy is only now, when Echo Investment has been land and demolished hotel.

Galaxy owner’s position is far cautious. – In the center of Szczecin long, there are two large shopping centers and what you have changed, I have changed, moreover, in my opinion for the better – says Wojciech Gepner, a spokesman for Echo Investment. – We will wait for the decision of the councilors, but the sudden occurrence against the features that already exist in this area, it is weird.

Expansion of Galaxy and these are not controversial. Councillor Mark Duklanowski wants to enforce the provisions of the plan of liquidation ads, which is laden with downtown, gaudy booths, winding streets and running just before PAZIM.

– It is not necessary, it’s a great place for an attractive public space – says Duklanowski .
