This is how Puri Broto, president of this neighborhood association, expresses it, from where they insist that, once this study has been carried out, “it should not be hidden in a drawer.” “We want continuity”, he points out, for this reason, they claim that the next step is that it be allocated “a budget item so that the entire center can be carried out in the shortest time possible and that it does not dilate over time”. In addition, Broto recalls that the current center “has been on a borrowed site for 36 years” and that it is a space that has “more and more needs.”
