The PSOE claims that information has been lacking and bureaucracy has been left in the application of discounts to unemployed users of swimming pools (02/11/2017)

The councilor warns that "we will continue to review public prices so that these are not an impediment when it comes to accessing a municipal sports facility"

The Municipal Socialist Group claims that it has lacked a "good informative and informative campaign" to inform about the discounts that users of summer pools could benefit from when unemployed, "and at the same time there is plenty of bureaucracy, since the beneficiaries had to move to the Palacio de los Deportes to deliver the required documentation so that their children could enter without paying. "

Therefore, councilor Juan Vicente Larrosa said that "of course, with so few facilities and with the limited information provided, it is not strange that at the end of the season 128 unemployed adults and 226 minors have benefited from the discounts, when in our municipality there are more than 35,000 unemployed ", which, he adds," gives the feeling that the PP has cheated to not apply that rebate. "

In addition, remember that one of the requirements for discounts to apply is for minors to be accompanied by a parent and "children between 14 and 17 years old do not usually go to the pool with their parents, in any case, they go with the friends".

It must be remembered that the discounts were approved in full at the proposal of the Municipal Socialist Group and that the unemployed had to pay half the price while their minor children could enter the pool at no cost.

However, during a visit to different summer swimming pools in July, "we could verify that the information on these discounts was not visible, so the unemployed person who wanted to benefit should know in advance that there was such a reduction," explains Larrosa, who also points out the "annoying procedure that had to be carried out moving to the Palace of Sports so that the minor children of the unemployed could enter for free".

"Already in July we denounce the lack of interest on the part of the PP in this discount, something we reiterate after checking the few beneficiaries of the same, which does not mean that we are not happy, but it is a tiny joy," says the councilor.

Larrosa clarifies that "from the Municipal Socialist Group we will continue working so that the use of sports facilities is the same for all the residents of the municipality, whatever their level of income, especially because the practice of sports is very beneficial for citizens, therefore, we will continue reviewing public prices so that these are not an impediment when it comes to accessing an installation ".
