Santa Cruz Coalition Demands Answers on Municipal Band Headquarters Conditions
Madeira GuideThe Mais Santa Cruz coalition is pressing for clarity on the deteriorating state of the Municipal Band headquarters in the Casa da Cultura, Santa Cruz.
The coalition 'Mais Santa Cruz' is set to demand answers regarding the condition of the Municipal Band headquarters at tomorrow's city council meeting. This facility, located in the Casa da Cultura of Santa Cruz, is in such a state of disrepair that it fails to meet basic safety, comfort, and hygiene standards.
According to opposition statements, the current conditions hinder the band's ability to conduct rehearsals, training sessions, and other regular activities. The coalition, therefore, seeks clear and transparent explanations from the municipal executive on several points.
- Existence of recent technical reports or inspections of the building's conditions.
- Whether the current state ensures the necessary safety, dignity, and quality for year-round activities.
- Actions taken to address issues like leaks and structural degradation.
- Plans or budget forecasts for the rehabilitation of the headquarters, along with a timeline.
- The priority level of this cultural rehabilitation compared to other municipal investments.
The coalition highlights that while the municipality reports a budget surplus of 13 million euros and is investing in festivities and even a pool painting, the preservation of cultural heritage and the provision of adequate conditions for community-serving institutions are being neglected.
A matter of priorities, evidently misplaced in Santa Cruz, as the coalition concludes.
