They denounce the “delay” in the reopening of the study room of the Municipal Library

The study room of the Municipal Library should have been “fully operational” in Septemberbut remains closed to the public. That is the complaint made by the Regionalist Party (PRC) of Santander, which recalls that the space has been closed since 2022.

“The Government team (PP) He assured in the May plenary session of this year that it would be fully operational within a maximum period of three months“, recalled the regionalist spokesperson, Felipe Piña, coinciding with Library Day, in a statement in which he denounced a “new non-compliance” by the PP of Santander. “It is an already common circumstance that reflects an “alarming lack of planning and organization,” he lamented.

The regionalist spokesperson has taken the opportunity to re-propose the opening of a study room that remains open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to facilitate the study of Santander residents, adapting to their needs and demands, as they already did in September 2023. “From the Municipal Regionalist Group we consider that public services linked to education and culture can improve if they adjust to the needs of space and time of the students and that this type of public infrastructure must remain at the disposal of citizens for as long as possible,” said Piña.

Thus, he recalled that The works to enable this space began in February 2020, with a completion period of eight months and an investment of 1.3 million euros. Therefore, consider that Its inauguration has been delayed for more than three years, which has resulted in an extra cost of 1.7 million euros of investment..
