District International Blues Festival
No comments South district
We believe that the city deserves an international Blues festival as it is held in other cities. The musical offer is wide and, especially in the months of spring to autumn, there are a lot of live music activities. However, Blues is in a position of inferiority to other musical styles, as it has enjoyed little institutional support for its promotion. That is why we are making this proposal, a Festival that will be free and will feature leading figures of national and international Blues.
Last year we had the opportunity to organize a Blues festival with musicians, which was developed with great success. This fact, together with the flourishing associative and cultural activity of the District in the last years, encourages us to propose this International Festival taking advantage of the existing municipal spaces.
Its realization could serve as a means to create in the district a cultural circuit with a stable cultural program, as it provides for the exploitation of synergies with other associations, seeking their participation and collaboration. The event will also have economic advantages for the District and for the city, as this type of event attracts fans, with the consequent increase in activity, especially in the services sector.
The Festival will include musical and children's activities, a conference, a documentary screening, a master class and an exhibition, with the aim of presenting a broad programme aimed at all audiences.
Calendar: SpringFriday 24 and Saturday 25 May + Friday 31 May, Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June
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.
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.
Creation of day centres for people with Alzheimer's disease
No comments City
The population is increasing in age and not all older people have places to go with specific help. Especially municipal day centres for Alzheimer's where professionals could help stimulate them to be less sad and alone at home.
Chargers for electric vehicles.
No comments City
The city must have more charging zones to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles. For a cleaner and greener city.
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.
Reading rooms: accessibility and wi-fi
No comments South district
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.
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.
