At the centre of the local news is the issue of public playground in Country of Kythira, which remains out of operation for a period of almost two years. The prolonged interruption of operation and the obvious damage to the infrastructure have caused the comment of the faction «All Together, Kythira - Antikythera», which in a statement raises questions to the Municipal Authority.
With its intervention, the faction asks for official information on whether there is a specific maintenance program for the municipal facilities as a whole, and when the restoration of the damage to this playground is planned. The press release follows:
The playground in Chora Kythera has been closed for two years
#No_Draft
The image of abandonment of the playground in Chora Kythera causes sadness and indignation. A place for the children and families of the island has remained closed for almost two years, with broken fixtures, damage and a complete lack of care.
Unfortunately, it is again confirmed that in the Municipality of Kythera, projects are being carried out without a substantial plan for their maintenance and preservation over time. Infrastructures are built that a few years later are abandoned and depreciated.
The playground is not a decorative project. It is a public space for children and families and its current image is a failure of the Municipal Authority.
We ask publicly
When will the playground be restored and reopened?;
Is there a maintenance programme for municipal infrastructure or are we continuing without planning?;
Citizens deserve safe and functional public spaces, not images.
And do you know why that is? Because there is no plan.
