Announcements and records

What gets announced, and what the official records show.

Many announcements from the Municipality of Atri (road closures, school suspensions, openings, new services) are published on the mayor's Facebook profile. It is a fast channel, but it doesn't reach everyone: people without Facebook, people who don't use it and many older residents may not find out in time. Public information should reach every citizen in the same way.

This section is here to fill that gap. We report the announcements in plain language, with the date and a link to the original, next to the official records we find in our register, so you can see whether what was announced is also in the Municipality's documents. We don't republish the posts, we summarise them. When we can't find a record, we say it does not appear in the documents we consulted, not that it doesn't exist.

It is a free service, independent of the Municipality, supported by people from Atri and made for Atri. If you missed an announcement or spot a mistake, write to us at ciao@opencivtech.it.

New bus and car park on the site of the former Mambelli middle school

The announcement. The new car park for buses and cars on the former Mambelli middle school site opens on Saturday 26 September at 11:00. According to the announcement, bus stops for secondary schools move there from in front of the Carabinieri station and the Liceo, freeing the space now used by buses near the hospital. 20 free parking spaces all year round, plus another 60 in summer when buses are not using the area.

In the records. The documents we consulted do not yet include a record naming a car park on the former Mambelli middle school site, nor an order creating the 20 + 60 free spaces. The Municipality has a project for "reorganising parking areas and turning them into intermodal interchange zones" worth €565,000.00, of which €131,903.40 comes from the Abruzzo Region; but the records don't say where it is and state that works were completed on 30/12/2025, while the announcement describes works finishing now. So we don't link it to this car park without confirmation.

To ask the Municipality: the record approving the project, its cost and the parking order.
