Carlos Vieira submitted an open letter and a petition to the Lagos Municipal Council asking the council to evaluate the installation of the future headquarters of the Parish Council of Bensafrim and other public facilities on the land at Largo do Mercado de Bensafrim, instead of dedicating it to housing. The initiative comes following concerns expressed by the local community regarding the future of that space.
The petition gathered support from residents and traders in the area, who argue that the land should be used for services and facilities of public interest, meeting the needs of the local population. The issue highlights the debate between housing construction and the creation of community infrastructure in the parish.
The Parish Council of Bensafrim has been debating the need for a new headquarters, and the land in question has emerged as one of the options being considered to house this facility. The Lagos Municipal Council is the entity responsible for deciding the final destination of the space.
The content of the open letter and petition was originally published by the Barlavento newspaper, which reported on the mobilization of Bensafrim residents around this urban planning issue that directly affects the lives of the local community.
