Further investments in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski

The Municipality of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski is implementing a series of investments aimed at persons with disabilities largely utilizing funding received from Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway under the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area 2014-2021 and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021. 

On the following streets: Karola Szymanowskiego, Armii Krajowej, Marii Dąbrowskiej – intersection with Wspólna Street, Marii Dąbrowskiej — intersection with Marii Konopnickiej Street and Wspólna — intersection with Mikołaja Kopernika Street, sidewalks and pedestrian crossings will be adapted to the needs of people with disabilities, enhancing the safety of these areas. Additionally, parking spaces for individuals with special needs will be provided in their vicinity. Within the city, playgrounds have already been equipped with facilities for people with disabilities. These have been placed in the following locations: Gutwin Recreation Center, Market Square in Denkowo, F. Chopina Street, Ogrody Estate on E. Dziewulskiego Street, S. Wyspiańskiego Street, the Fabryczny Park, and Marshal Józef Piłsudski City Park. Construction work has been or will be carried out in four buildings, along with the purchase of equipment to improve accessibility. 

- “It is high time for architectural barriers preventing individuals with disabilities from using public utility facilities to disappear from public spaces. I would like to see investments like these consistently implemented in our city. Therefore, with the completion of works in PP11 and PP19, we are now adapting PP12 and the building housing the Local Social Welfare Center (MOPS)," declares Vice Mayor Artur Łakomiec.

- “In our kindergarten, among other things, the external staircase at the main entrance was modernized, the sidewalk was reconstructed, and most importantly, an external lift for people with disabilities was installed”, recounts Aneta Stachurska, director of Public Kindergarten No. 19. These are very important investments for both the children with disability certificates attending our facility and their parents.
