Residents want autonomy. Will there be a new village council in the Dubiecko commune?

There are currently 16 separate village councils in the Dubiecko commune. Perhaps 17 will be created soon. The residents of the Nienadowa village in the recently held social consultations were mostly in favor of its division, thus expressing the will to exclude part of the area from the Nienadowa village and create the Nienadowa Górna village.

In April this year, the Dubiecko local government shared the results of social consultations conducted among the residents of Nienadowa on the above matter. They lasted from March 10 to 24 this year. They were to express their opinion on the possible division of the Nienadowa village by creating the Nienadowa Górna village. Out of 509 consultation surveys submitted to the office, as many as 418 were an expression of acceptance for such an idea, and only 87 were an expression of opposition (4 surveys were deemed invalid), which shows that the vast majority support such a step. What is the reason for the desire to separate from Nienadowa and what potential benefits will it bring?

The mayor also emphasizes other reasons for creating an additional village. One of them is a separate parish. The residents of the Nienadowa Górna hamlet also have their own church and cemetery, and they used to have a school. As J. Grzegorzak says, a councilor from there (Roman Szymański) has emphasized so far that they have poor representation in the city government, and support in the form of their own village mayor would be a great benefit.

– It must also be admitted that the established Nienadowa Górna village would be much larger than many of those that we currently have separated, so it is hard to be surprised by these aspirations. Such a step would calm...
