Dear Council,

Zaragoza has turned into a big city in the last fifty years. Because of the immigration came from abroad and villages, its population has increased around 750,000 inhabitants, and it has a surface about 1,000 km2.

For health reasons, in order to avoid high levels of pollution, litter, air quality, noise levels and so on, several measures must be taken to transform the city in an environmentally-friendly city.

Regarding public transport, it’s necessary building more cycleway. The actual network isn´t enough to all the areas, there are a lot of neighbourhoods where the cycleway hasn’t been built. Moreover, there is a big list of users waiting for the cycleway card. The more people move by bicycle, the less people move by car. Consequently, pollution is lower at the same time that people do exercise. Furthermore, the promotion of public transport introducing transport cards with reasonable fares.

About recycling, many inhabitants don’t recycle the litter, because of the laziness or lack of awareness. As a suggestion, schools could teach classes on the topic and other similarities, such us road education, education for peace or ecology.

My opinion about noise levels is that some pubs and bars must comply with the closing times and the noise levels, because in areas where the concentration is high, the law isn’t respected, even there are people drinking in the street, as a consequence, residents can’t sleep. In such cases the owners would have to pay a fine. As a rule, a tour of inspection in nightclubs or bars must be introduced.

In relation to street fighting, my proposal is the increase of the number of policemen at night; on account of these situations take place in this period, mainly at weekends.

In my point of view, some green spaces are very dirty and neglected, there are litter and papers. Adults would have to behave in good manners, setting a good example for children. The Council must impose fines in order to avoid this behaviour.

Finally, a campaign to raise public awareness could be very effective. For instance, if bills were placed in the city showing a message of the advantages about quality living for everybody, people would have more sensibility. Working together, we must achieve a better city.
