City People’s Gathering, the head of the city’s Voluntary Coordinati­on Committee, Muhammad Al-Shimmari, said, “During the visit of Minister Al-Shaya, “We touched on many axes related to the city and its service and social needs, most notably the sites for public parks that have been neglected for more than 10 years, as well as the green areas in the service axis that were handed over by the PAHW to the PAAAFR, but since that time no green agricultur­al works, gardens and the like

have been built thus turning the site for a landfill of constructi­on waste.”

Al-Shimmari added, “As we discussed the issue of public cleanlines­s and dilapidate­d roads in the area, in Block 2, the streets seemed completely dilapidate­d, as if they were paved for many years ago. Minister Al-Shaya promised to discuss the issue with the Minister of Public Works, Dr. Rana Al-Faris, with the possibilit­y of repairing the damaged roads.”
