Residents of the lower Medlog district in Celje report that they remain unprotected against flooding despite the construction of a levee four years ago. While the structure successfully protected the Spica area and enabled new residential development along Ljubljanska cesta, properties on the opposite side were left vulnerable during the 2023 floods. Local authorities state that additional immediate flood protection measures are currently unfeasible for this specific zone. Instead, residents must wait for the implementation of dry retention basins planned for the Lower Savinja Valley. Residents express frustration over the lack of prior consultation regarding the project and cite the 2023 event as evidence that initial assurances of improved safety were incorrect.
Bias read (Progressive): The article relies exclusively on resident complaints and critical quotes while omitting any counter-arguments from the water management authority beyond their statement of technical constraints.
