City Council Faces Criticism Over Delays in Safont Park Infrastructure Projects

The City Council has faced criticism for delays in infrastructure projects, particularly a bridge connecting paths in Safont Park. United Left has expressed disappointment with the lack of progress, despite previous commitments.

In May 2024, the City Council unanimously approved plans to build a bridge connecting paths towards Greece square. However, a budget item for this construction has not been included in the 2026 municipal budgets. Furthermore, no steps have been taken to start work on the other route that would surround the city, despite the Sports Councillor signing an agreement with a private basketball club. United Left hopes that the City Council will fulfill its commitment to build this bridge.

The permanent cross circuit in Safont Park would add value to the park and guarantee the care and maintenance of existing infrastructure. United Left claims that the government refused to establish this circuit for training and events. They have also denounced the poor state of the cross circuit in Safont, where the Toledo Sword event will be held in a month. The bridge in Safont Park has been collapsed for a year, affecting the original route of this event. IU reproaches the Sports Councillor for not taking out signage for the homologated route from storage, as promised.

The City Council is urged to address these infrastructure issues promptly. The lack of progress on the bridge and cross circuit projects has raised concerns among the public and political parties. The Sports Councillor is expected to take action to ensure these projects are completed as soon as possible.
