Change all lighting to leds
No comments East district
Continue to change the lighting of the city, not only the low streetlights that have been changed recently, but also the higher streetlights, all the lighting of tunnels and roads and the lighting of public buildings, thus promoting greater savings that impact on energy expenditure (this money can be used for other initiatives) and simultaneously promoting a reduction in pollution that such energy savings entails. Part of the money can also be used to carry out a campaign to encourage the same change in private homes, providing incentives such as discounts on the purchase of such lighting systems.
At the same time, we could think of models of street lamps with solar panels in the same style as parking meters or some traffic signs, so that the savings would be greater or the energy generated could be sold to the electricity grid.
It is necessary to think about saving expenses as well as it has been carried out, in this way greater budgetary items can be destined for things that are worthwhile to the citizens.
Financial aid to guarantee basic food supply
No comments City
Social emergency financial aid is not just welfare benefits. They form part of the benefits implemented by the social protection system to overcome situations of social difficulty. In accordance with the provisions of Law 11/2003 on Social Services, these economic benefits, together with the techniques and materials, will be the actions carried out to achieve, re-establish or improve their welfare.
Based on data from the National Statistics Institute's Living Conditions Survey, it is estimated that 1% of the inhabitants of the municipality of "cannot afford a meal of meat, chicken or fish at least every two days", some 32,000 people. If we take into account that less than 14,000 people receive the Minimum Income of Insertion, we see that the population that cannot afford a basic diet is more than double that which receives economic aid from the Autonomous Community. This shows that the Community's aid does not reach all the people who need it either.
In recent years, night-time queues of people waiting to pick up waste from supermarkets have become commonplace in working-class neighbourhoods. New neighbourhood food collection and distribution networks have also emerged, a clear symptom of the inadequacy of public policies and the overflow of traditional NGOs.
We consider that Participatory Budgets can be an opportunity to reach objectives of coverage of needs not reached until now, and to offer a definitive support to people and families that do not reach their autonomy and well-being because the existing aids are not sufficient.
Our proposal consists of fully allocating the 30 million euros of the Participatory Budgets to an economic aid programme to eradicate food poverty in the city. This would mean contributing 0.6% of the City Council Budget to satisfy a basic need of 1% of the population, the most vulnerable.
We invite you to massively support this proposal to eradicate this social stigma and as a way of demonstrating to Public Administrations that what citizens demand in the first place is that basic human rights be guaranteed.
Pedestrianization of streets with narrow and impracticable sidewalks
No comments West district
The object of this proposal is to pedestrianize those streets of the district whose narrow sidewalks are in practice impracticable. In particular, the proposal refers to streets with sidewalks of 1m or less in width.
Among other problems, neighbors and pedestrians are forced to share the roadway with vehicles and sidewalks are inaccessible to people with disabilities. Coexistence is sometimes made even more difficult by the fact that these streets (often separated from the main roads) are used for loading and unloading illegally and outside the areas set aside for this purpose.
Remodelling of the central square
No comments East district
The residents of the square want a reform of the square that makes it greener more colorful and more of all neighbors eradicating bad habits there. we also want the square to be more sustainable even placing triangular sails that provide shade in summer and water mist to cool the area. we also want more trees and cultural alternatives such as theater and puppets some solidarity market and even the possibility of giving a concert with unidirectional speakers. We are open to any suggestion or idea from any of the neighbors of the district.
Sustainable social economy project
No comments North district
It is proposed the creation of a market where neighbors can exchange objects (barter), would not be a selling market, nor with the existence of donations, nor would there be any profit, only exchange of objects without the presence of money. And in order to do so, it is requested that part of the public space in the Children's Park be adapted with the urban furniture necessary to make this market where barter can be carried out between the neighbours.
The necessary urban furniture would be tables, benches and a closed space to store materials that will be used in the barter market.
This proposal is created due to the lack of public spaces destined to the neighborhood meeting, to improve the social economy of the neighborhoods and to continue with the work that the collectives and the neighbors of the district of Chamartín had been doing in the barter market that was carried out in the park of Gloria Fuertes.
The estimated value of investment in this proposal would be around € 5000.
Cinematheque for the district
No comments West district
La Nave is the result of the rehabilitation of a part of the old and abandoned barracks, which was saved from real estate speculation thanks to the struggle of the neighbors of the neighborhood to maintain it for equipping the neighborhood.
It is a cultural macrospace that has two theater rooms, several multipurpose rooms, common areas and warehouses. The previous government left it in absolute disuse and even today, the programming that is carried out is far below the occupation that can accommodate this large space.
Our proposal consists in the creation of a cinema library, an audiovisual room for alternative, independent and non-fiction cinema programming that would be located in a room on the lower floor of the Nave Teatro.
It is a project that does not require a great investment but that would give cultural life to a neighbourhood that, like almost all of them, has lost all its cinemas, as well as offering all the people of Madrid the possibility of enriching our social and cultural life.
Thank you for supporting our proposal.
Enlarge library
No comments South district
Dámaso Alonso's library is small and would need to be enlarged in order to enlarge the collection of books.
Outdoor Dancefloors
No comments South district
Installation/construction of two dance floors (wooden floor) in the district
Technical aspects:
- Surface area of land to be built per track: 100 square meters
- Floor material: wooden platform resistant to exteriors (sliding materials to facilitate the dance and the care of the knees of lxs bailarinxs).
- Lighting point installation (Electrotechnics: Power supply, electricity): to be able to plug loudspeakers or other utensils.
Possible location within the park itself: The best site, for lighting, sonority (minimize possible impact to the rest of neighbors), shadows and location, would be in the area that now occupies the playground (more used, unfortunately, as a dog park) which would move this to another area of the park. (it is not essential and would be evaluated by the technicians of the council with a view to minimizing expenses and improving the idea).
The dance floor would in no case involve eliminating any of the existing trees, which means respecting them and/or integrating them into the design.
Justification of the location, ideas and positive aspects to take into account that support the investment:
- Dynamisation of public spaces with music and dance for all citizens.
- Intergenerational activities.
- New ways of living and building the public space, promoting neighborhood coexistence.
- Dancing as an alternative to healthy, social leisure, which helps to improve both physical and psychological fitness.
