"We maintain the commitment to this formula for participation and contact with citizens", said the mayor, Vicent Grimalt, at the press conference convened this noon on that occasion. The mayor emphasizes that the intention of these meetings is to foster contact with the councilors for proximity and transparency. "We want people to feel involved with the neighborhood and the City Hall".

However, Grimalt, who has promised to attend as many meetings as the agenda allows, has recalled that these appointments are not only to hear the complaints of the attendees, but that "goes beyond". One of the main objectives of these is to report on how the approved projects are being developed within the Citizen Participation budget. He has also taken the opportunity to announce that those belonging to the 2019 exercise and that have not yet been carried out, will be finalized during the remainder of the year.

Pepe Doménech, councilor of that area, has confessed that attendance at meetings in some neighborhoods is not very high, but they still think that it is the most appropriate form of "inspire confidence in citizens". In addition, remember that the deadline to present the projects of each neighborhood will remain open during the month of October and that this tool, the meetings, can be used for this purpose.
