"The problem posed by the municipal road, which begins at level 83, runs past houses and leads to fields, is well known to the local authorities. We've been working to harden its surface, which is in terrible condition, for two years. The mayor even promised that such action would be taken, but so far, it hasn't translated into any real work. Both I and my neighbor have submitted letters to the municipality, each with dozens of signatures.

I have two children, my son is in fifth grade, my daughter is in kindergarten. The children's bikes get stuck in the mud, and they have to put on shoe bags because of how they'll look afterwards," adds Beata, Bożena's neighbor.
She adds that recently, her yard was flooded with water runoff from the fields, requiring the fire department to intervene. She also had trouble accessing the property. She also recalls an incident in the winter when she had to call an ambulance...
