Santa Cruz City Council approved financial support of 260 thousand euros for the maintenance of the Community Centre of Santo António da Serra. This amount aims to ensure the continuity of social services and responses provided in this parish.

The municipal support allows for the operation of the community structure that serves the population of Santo António da Serra. The approved funds are specifically intended for the maintenance of the activities and services provided by the centre.

The decision of the Santa Cruz local authority demonstrates the commitment to social cohesion and support for the smaller communities in the municipality. Santo António da Serra, as a rural parish, depends on this type of community responses for its residents.

This funding is part of a broader strategy to enhance the parishes in the interior of the municipality and to guarantee access to essential services for local populations.
