Integral reform of roads and sidewalks, and Repair, painting and asphalt of tunnels

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.

Plant shade trees in squares that are now mere stone deserts or lack them, so that they can be used by neighbors as small oases in the city and contribute to clean the environment and lower high temperatures in summer. To provide them with sufficient land and irrigation so that they can live and develop (and not remain like sad skewers). Choose species that work well in this environment.

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.

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.

The reading rooms are one of the few spaces, next to the libraries, where the youth of the district can study quietly and properly prepare their exams.

Recently some of them have been rehabilitated, but they need improvements both to allow access to their services to everyone and to facilitate the consultation of information and knowledge so necessary while a person studies. Therefore, we propose that in the four reading rooms:

To install elements that allow accessibility to people with reduced mobility, except in Cebreros due to the strong technical difficulties of carrying it out. Free wi-fi network coverage is available. We also propose the installation of accessibility elements for people with reduced mobility at the western entrance to the Cultural Centre.

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.
