placed in the premises of the Municipality of Probistip
4. Findings of the ESS 6

Due to the transparent public disclosure and implemented GRM, the local residents of the above-
mentioned street aware of the planned construction works, requested from the Municipality of Probistip to
use reconstruction period of the streets for removal old trees, planting new trees and maintenance the
existing ones.
The main reasons why the residents of abovementioned streets demanded the greenery along the streets
to be cleared and arranged are as follows: the trees are tall and branched thus representing potential risk
for the tenants of the collective residential buildings due to the possibility of damage to the buildings,
danger to the health and safety of the tenants, street users, vehicles parked in the immediate vicinity, etc.
Some of the existing trees ware old, still there were also trees that should be arranged by the Public Utility
Company in order to completely improve the street landscape.
