The neighborhood platform The Voice of Chemistry has denounced that the expansion works of the Civic Center of the Almozara have been completely paralyzed for a year, despite the fact that its completion was scheduled for November 2023.
“The works were arrested without giving any explanation to the neighbors of the neighborhood,” said Ismael Tornos, spokesman for the group. The project, which began at the beginning of 2023 with a budget of more than 886,000 euros, contemplated an estimated duration of ten months.
As explained by the platform, the extension plan provided to locate the dependencies of the District Board on the ground floor; On the first floor, a complete space for social services with offices, meetings and work areas; and in the second, warehouse areas, rest and changing rooms for staff. An institutional visit made on July 5, 2023 by the mayor Natalia Chueca And the person in charge of Urbanismo, Víctor Serrano, served to show the progress and announce his next inauguration, “but since then he has not reported anything again,” they criticize in a statement.
They regret the “lack of transparency” municipal
Lathes has lamented the lack of transparency and communication by Zaragoza City Council: “We do not know if it is a technical or other problem, but the work was paralyzed without date or explanation, and we continue a year later.” For the platform, this situation reflects an institutional neglect that has already become routine in the neighborhood: “even the simplest works seem impossible to execute in the Almozara.”
The indignation of the neighbors has intensified after verifying the lack of response in public acts. “On June 10, the mayor visited the Puerta de Sancho market to present the campaign we will return, and not a single word said about this work or other pending projects,” he denounced lathes. “We are on July 29, 2025 and in the Almozara we remain the same: without swimming pools, without the music of the music, without equipped park and without expanded civic center. Incompetence overflows us!”, The neighborhood spokesman concluded.
