The ordinance that prohibits climbing on Tavolara has been corrected. Issued a few days ago by Mayor Settimo Nizzi, the measure has been revised and corrected: the generalized and permanent ban on climbing the island to reach the top, from today has a time limit.
Climbing is prohibited until the end of September while waiting to draft a regulation that governs the activities on the Tavolara trails, to be submitted to the City Council. The mayor's decision was contested by the PD city councilors who filed a motion to request the immediate withdrawal of the ordinance and today, a few hours after the signing of the new one, they say: "Only following the objections raised by the opposition councilors and by the stakeholders of the territory, the administration was forced to introduce changes to the original measure of the ordinance that permanently prohibited climbing activities on the island of Tavolara".
Once again, they add, «the mayor of Olbia adopts a provision unilaterally and impulsively, issuing another ordinance, in an attempt to resort to last-minute remedies, but the recent corrections are nothing more than an implicit admission of the errors committed and do not resolve the defects of legitimacy already highlighted by us councilors of the Democratic Party, but rather implicitly confirm their groundlessness».
While stating that they are available to discuss the drafting of a regulation that guarantees responsible but free use of the area , the Democrats conclude: "We reiterate that the total ban, even if limited until September 30, 2025, represents an excessive and disproportionate measure, which risks fueling clandestine routes, severely penalizing professional guides precisely in the period of greatest work, and depriving citizens and visitors of an experience that can and must be regulated with safety and sustainability criteria, as happens in many other areas of our island".
