Opinion Estefania Schwamb (Cs): «Small steps to achieve a better city for all»
In the municipal group Ciudadanos Dénia, we continue working, and the achievements of this group in the Dénia city council are not few. Among other things, we are doing a great job to improve the quality of life of our little ones, both by cleaning schools and improving the quality of playgrounds. We are also concerned about the economy, within our position we do everything possible, we support projects that improve business and/or working conditions. At the time we opposed the increase in the contribution, since it is time to help the citizen and not to put more stones in the way, although we do not always achieve it since we are facing a government with an absolute majority that makes its own decisions .
We also look after our animals, our work prompted the updating of an outdated and obsolete municipal animal welfare ordinance.
We are concerned about tourism, so that Dénia improves the quality of life of its citizens we need them to come and meet us, and a claim is to have a clean, beautiful and organized city, with attractions that differ from other cities and thus make a difference. We wanted to implement the canine DNA registry, a project that implies a cleaner and safer city for our pets, but it was impossible to advance in this project, we also wanted to create an animal cemetery, thus creating a green area, kind to the environment and giving solution to those owners of animals who do not have the option of burying them because the law at this point still does not allow it. Nothing happens, we will continue to contribute ideas to improve our city.
We cannot forget our first achievement, our motion at the beginning of the legislature on the protection of the dunes, a fundamental piece in the quality of our beaches.
One last achievement, which seems simple but will be very useful to all of us, is the request to modify the prior appointment system on the website of the Dénia town hall. Anyone who has wanted to carry out a procedure at the Town Hall will know what we are talking about; To date, it was a lottery to get an appointment, without knowing which technician to turn to for each need because it was unclear on the web, much less calling by phone to consult, since it is easier to find a needle in a haystack than they answer you This entailed a loss of time for both citizens and officials since, in most cases, the appointment was not taken correctly and the operation had to be repeated. Something as simple as this will make everything improve a little more in our consistory and citizens will receive adequate attention.
The opposition is here, and we are doing our job, which is not always visible, but that does not mean that we are not here. We continue to do useful politics.
