The Municipal Group of UPyD understands that the current model of management and maintenance of sports facilities is neither sustainable nor profitable.
With the current crisis, spending more than 9 million euros in running costs of electricity, water, cleaning or maintenance while not invested enough in promoting basic sport or sports activities for children and youth "is situation must be reviewed and changed. "
"It's time to take bold decisions and move towards a model in which the use of sports facilities for adults should be taxed at a higher rate in some activities, they generate a significant expense to the government at a time when we do not know where to get to cover basic needs of this budget, "said UPyD spokesman, Ruben Juan Serna.
To UPyD, the main objective and priority is that the maximum number of children in the municipality in sport.
According to Juan Ruben Serna "basic sport must take priority over other users. The school activities are fundamental to personal growth, health and values ​​and as such should be prioritized. And immediately."
"Adult users must be aware that 8.5 € for a football field 7 with light, in which they play 14 people who pay less than € 2, or 4.5 € for an hour without light, very cheap" .
According to Ruben Juan Serna, measures such as increasing the tax rate levied on the IBI of the houses indiscriminately affects everyone equally, whether they are pensioners, the unemployed, families with high incomes, and so on., It is unfair.
But "a model based on justice and solidarity", where public prices for service use and enjoyment of sports facilities such as electricity, hot water, cleaning, maintenance, security, etc..
are higher, should be taken into account, said the mayor of the formation magenta.
"This would allow greater investment in child sport itself must tend to free as much as possible, and to cooperate economically with other items from other councils," he said.
