Once started, the work will last no more than six weeks. The refurbishment of the roof of the sports center has already been completed.
The San Leonardo theater will have to keep waiting to open its doors and host new functions on its stage. The restoration of the partially collapsed theater false ceiling is “imminent”. “We are receiving the budgets and we hope to be able to get to work as soon as possible,” says Belinda Peñalba, mayor of the city.
The work involves the reinforcement of the central dome from which the lamp hangs, which has not suffered damage from the detachment and requires only the shoring and the repair and painting of the plaster that makes up the ceiling. Once the performance has begun, the works should not continue for more than 6 weeks.
“I hope it won’t take long”, confides Peñalba, since it is one of the most used spaces in the city during the autumn and winter months for events of all kinds, with Christmas parties, the comedy of Candelas and San Blas or the scenic circuits of Castilla y León, whose last two functions have already had to be transferred to other spaces.
On the other hand, the roof of the sports center and its leaks have already been repaired. The action had a budget of 87,000 and was included in the Provincial Plans of the Diputación. “It cost us a lot to put it in the race”, acknowledges the mayor, recalling the initial price adjustment, the changes to the project that had to be transferred to the regional body and the price increase resulting from the crisis that forced the budget to be revised. again. “We wanted them to start on August 1st so that they could be finished before classes started, but they were eventually postponed until September 1st,” he complains. However, the works were completed in just two weeks and for aesthetic reasons only the false ceiling of the building to be repaired remained.
