In June this year, reconstruction began on the paved areas in front of the Ponorka building and the adjacent pavement leading to the footbridge at Bělíčků. The work is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025.

We believe that this reconstruction will contribute to increasing comfort for residents and visitors to the village and at the same time improve the overall appearance of this busy public space.

This year, the extensive area surrounding the Ponorka service building will be revitalised. As part of the replacement of impermeable surfaces with permeable ones, the adjacent car parks will be renovated, the pavement towards the footbridge at Bělíčků will be modified and the parking spaces next to the footbridge will be rearranged. We have obtained a grant from the State Environmental Fund to carry out the project. The project will not only restore the appearance of the unsightly car park, but will also allow rainwater to seep into and be retained in the built-up area of the municipality over a relatively large area. The existing concrete and asphalt surfaces will be replaced with paving that will not only drain water into the rainwater sewer system or the adjacent stream, but will also allow it to soak into the ground across the entire area. This is one of the measures we are implementing to retain water in the landscape and in the centre of the village.

The tender is currently being prepared. The cost of the project is estimated at CZK 9 million. We will receive an 85% subsidy from the State Environmental Fund. The project is scheduled for implementation between May and October this year.

You may be wondering why the Ponorka is not being repaired first and then the car park...

However, the world of subsidies is strange and illogical. Currently, it is possible to repair the car park, so we are repairing the car park. These subsidies will end, so it was necessary to use them. We are still waiting for a call for proposals in which we will be able to apply for the repair of the Ponorka building. We are ready with the plans, but the call will not be announced until the middle of this year at the earliest, and the evaluation of applications often takes more than a year. We have to work with this fact. Believe me, if it were possible, we would repair the building first and then the surrounding areas. However, the planned reconstruction and its connection to the paved areas are taken into account in the project.
