We ask the Comune Barasso the following; To the Sindaco of the Comune Barasso As an elected body you are responsible and accountable for your actions and should consider the impact of your decisions on the surrounding communities. The Health & Safety of the people in this area should be your number one priority. 1. Why was there no consultation or communication with local residents ? 2.
