The matter of contribution demanded by the Fethiye Municipality from the citizens for the roads and pavements constructed during 2008 was again on the agenda of the January meeting of the Municipal Council.
The council members of the CHP claim that the municipality is asking for contribution on roads which have not yet been constructed.
The Fethiye Municipality had stated that contribution would not be asked for such public services as roads and pavements constructed in 2008. This was one of the statements made by Mayor Behçet Saatçı during his election speeches. However, citizens were asked to pay their share after the elections. The share of residents vary based on the position of their houses on the streets and may reach to thousands of liras. During the January meeting of the Municipal Council, the spokesman of the AK Party, Selahattin Kayaman, proposed making a study parcel by parcel, when the CHP group voiced a serious claim. Nalan Ünal,. The spokesman of the CHP stated that contribution was asked for roads which are not yet constructed. Ünal said that no one questioned the legality of the obligation but there were errors in application, adding, “In practice, there are obvious errors committed by the authorities of the municipality. The first serious error is this. Contribution is demanded on roads which are indicated on the development plan but have not yet been constructed. The second error is asking for full share from houses on crossroads where the main entrance is only on one street. That is as it should be. However, full share is also demanded on houses which do not have the main entrance on the street. This shows that when calculating the shares, the municipality officials have not actually studied these roads. They only calculated and billed the citizens while sitting at their desks.”
On the other hand, the Major of Fethiye, Behçet Saatçı, reminded that during election speeches he had promised that these contributions would not be asked for but that they were later obligated to collect hem.
