Running for Starostové pro Ostravu-Porubu

Main topics

public space

Poruba is known for its wide streets, parks and lots of greenery. Our priority will be to preserve this character while improving the quality of public spaces. We want to continue the systematic renewal of parks, playgrounds and relaxation zones so that they are safe, accessible and pleasant for all generations. We want public space to be not just a place to pass through, but a real meeting place. That's why we'll support the creation of smaller relaxation zones, benches, street lighting and aesthetic features that will make individual parts of Poruba more attractive. Nature shouldn't give way to parking spaces; projects should primarily go to places where parking areas already exist, for example by building multi-storey parking capacity.

sport

I'm very actively involved in community runs and other sports activities. I want to give everyone space to do sport in Poruba. We'll develop sports infrastructure, modernise sports facilities and support youth clubs across different sports, but we also want to support associations, clubs and organisations that work with children and young people on a non-competitive basis. What matters is that children and young people have accessible options for spending their time actively regardless of their family's financial situation.

safety

We want safety not just in the statistics, but also in the reality of everyday life. We want to introduce “school streets” that allow children to move around safely in front of nursery and primary schools. We also want to continue the current practice of increasing the number of city police officers on the streets and linking an officer with “their” beat.

A few words about me

I'm a student, self-employed and above all a young, active person trying to awaken the kind of cultural and sports life in Ostrava that I know from other cities.

I was born in Ostrava, went to grammar school here, I live here now and I have no plans to leave this great city.
