This Monday, Mayor Francisco Azcué visited the El Mondongo neighborhood in Benito Legerén, where the Municipality of Concordia, using its own resources and personnel, renovated a sports court that was in a significant state of abandonment.
The intervention took place following a request from local residents who were unable to carry out sports and recreational activities. The work was carried out within the framework of the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial.
“It is important to listen to the residents because these actions stem from that,” pointed out Mayor Azcué, who remarked: “We are happy to see the children playing, smiling, together with their families.”
Azcué highlighted the scope of the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial “that we are carrying out after two years of organizing and reducing the Municipality's spending, with asphalt, water, sewage, and public lighting works, but also contemplating public policies that aim at human development, as in this case where both are combined: the construction of the court on one hand and the possibility for residents to carry out different activities.”
“This is what we want: to stimulate and advance a new model of city in which residents do not owe anything to any politician, do not depend on the State, and for that to happen, we must generate opportunities for them,” concluded Azcué.
ABANDONED SPORTS COURT
Mateo Sastre, Undersecretary of Public Works, recalled that “this work was a specific request from the residents, which was channeled through the Neighborhood Commissions Department, involving various areas such as the Architecture Directorate and the Masonry Department so that this court would be completely new.”
In that sense, he remarked that “what existed was a fractured court, full of grass and in a state of abandonment. Now, through this work, we have recovered a very important space for all the residents of the neighborhood. Everything was done with municipal resources and labor.”
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
The Undersecretary of Sports, Ivana Pérez, reported that a teacher will be available for the development of different sports activities, maintaining that “it is important to see the enthusiasm of the children and their families. This is a place that everyone will be able to use and share different moments.”
Finally, the president of the Neighborhood Commission, Luis González, stressed that “the court is very important for the children to play sports. Our idea is that they can play basketball, volleyball, 5-a-side soccer, and with this, instead of being on the street, they can do sports activities.”
Accompanying him were the Secretary of Public Works Fernando Esquibel, officials, council members, and residents of the neighborhood.
