From Matteotti Park to Europa Park, passing through the public garden of via Austria, up to the Poetto seafront. Green light to the police and urban security regulation that for six areas of the city provides for the Daspo as for the stadiums: sanctions for those who violate the rules, removal and prohibition of access in the most serious cases. In addition to a series of rules to be respected to guarantee urban decorum and public order, and prohibitions to curb the bad nightlife.
The fourteen-page document is in fact the first regulation adopted by the Municipality on the front of safety and decorum throughout the territory. "We are a big city and having a tool of this type was necessary, as well as a duty", explains Mayor Graziano Milia after the approval by the Council. An adaptation to national legislation, but not only. "It is something we discussed during the last meeting of the committee on public order", says Milia, "a commitment that I made personally as mayor with the Prefect of Cagliari".
Among the new features introduced by the regulation is the order to leave for those who "have engaged in behaviors that limit livability and urban decorum", as required by national law. The so-called urban Daspo, with six areas of the city identified and reported in the attachment to the document: Matteotti Park, Europa Park - including the parking lot between Via Germania, Malta and Pitz'e Serra - Parco del Sole on Via Turati next to the ASL parking lot, Parodi Park, the public garden on Via Austria, and Poetto in the area between the beach and the four-lane Lungomare del Golfo. Furthermore - it is specified in the regulation - the mayor has the power "to adopt with a reasoned act measures, even contingent and urgent, in compliance with the general principles of the system, in order to prevent and eliminate serious dangers that threaten public safety and urban security in the entire municipal territory or in limited areas".
Among the prohibitions reported in the 27 articles is that of loitering, and begging but only in cases where one causes annoyance, disturbance, or feigns physical disabilities. It is also forbidden to consume alcoholic beverages - from 10 pm to 6 am, in the six areas indicated for the urban Daspo - away from the "spaces granted to the catering establishments present and during public events authorized for this": a move against the bad nightlife that is usually tried to be curbed with ordinances. And again: no to single-use plastic and cigarettes on the city beaches, to firecrackers - a ban at the center of the traditional ordinance before New Year's - it is also forbidden to "give food to birds that stay in the municipal territory".
The regulation proposed and voted by the Council will now have to make a passage through the table of the Police Commissioner of Cagliari, then the last stage in the City Council for discussion and the final vote before the summer break.
