Opposition says lack of inspectors in Odemira “is invitation for those who don’t want to follow the law”

Opposition councilors in Odemira argue that the municipality's severe shortage of building inspectors is effectively an "invitation" for illegal construction activities.

Currently, Odemira reportedly has only three inspectors responsible for overseeing all construction projects within the municipality. The opposition contends that this minimal oversight actively encourages clandestine building, as developers and property owners may feel emboldened to bypass regulations.

Expressing their deep concern, the opposition has formally requested an extraordinary meeting to discuss the issue. However, they report receiving no response to their request, further fueling their frustration with the current administration's handling of the matter.

The opposition's stance is that the lack of adequate enforcement and inspection resources creates an environment where non-compliance is implicitly tolerated, undermining legal construction practices and potentially leading to unsafe structures.
