Trasportounito denunciation the umpteenth prank for the road haulage to Genoa



Trasportounito has launch an alarm because, second those which the association of the road haulage has defined "insistent voices and unfortunately founded", the municipal administration of Genoa "would have decided "unilaterally" to remove to the trucks also the area of Fields in order to assign it to other asset. Such area, even if in very bad conditions and quoted dearly - the trade-union association has remembered - it is the only possible area of pause for the TIR in arrival or departure from the port of Genoa".

"They are taking the mickey out - Giuseppe Tagnocchetti has denounced, coordinator of Trasportounito for the Liguria - are not only the enterprises and the workers of the road haulage, but the entire community of the harbour operators and the genoese citizens who give years is forced to cohabit with Tir, obliged to journey in the city and to park where it happens. With the closing of Fields the situation is destined to deteriotate dramatically".

The association has emphasized that the history of the car park to Genoa is made of "forty years of promises, ideas, confronts, protests (last, in time order - Trasportounito has remembered - that of the Tir snail in last month of April), pretended, virtual, partial or interminable projects (as the parking in zone airport), dossiers delivered to the Prefects (history of the genoese car park) hypothesis of parking before in the Colisa areas, then to Fields, therefore to Trasta, then in the areas of the former Ilva di Cornigliano; all smoke as the farce of the traffic centre. Meantime - it has evidenced the association - the port, the city and the road haulage assist passively to a dangerous aggravation of the infrastructural degradation; with truck and means (more than 3.000 to the day) that they destroy the suspensions on dissestate roads; means which blocked on the roads in income to the harbour terminals with an indefensible overlap between traffic of heavy means and city traffic; vehicles that park in abandoned spaces of pause in all the West city (never granted even though demanded by the enterprises); forced drivers to use tumbledown buildings as toilets to open sky".

"The involved municipal administration and the other institutions (Harbour Authority and Region) - Tagnochetti has asserted - must immediately clarify how much are happening and what really intends to make. In absence of immediate answers, already by next days, involving all the harbour community, will be started a collection of signatures "against" the provisions that are or will be assumed to the detriment of the road haulage, of the real economy of the port and the city".
