Toledo official demands rescue of five neglected public parks

Txema Fernández, the municipal spokesperson for Izquierda Unida in Toledo, is calling for the restoration of five public parks in the Polígono residential area. Fernández criticized the local government for neglecting these green spaces, which he claims are essential for climate change adaptation and providing inclusive spaces for all citizens.

The neglected areas include sites near the Hospital, the Parque del Lobito, and several locations near the Río Guadalmena and Río Valdehuesa. Fernández noted that some areas suffer from broken infrastructure, such as damaged tartan flooring, which poses safety risks.

A motion will be presented at the upcoming October plenary session to demand that these parks be properly maintained. The proposal seeks to include them in the municipal maintenance staff's duties or ensure they are covered under the current public contract for park and green zone conservation.
