Residents of João da Noly call for urgent improvements to access roads
Nova Sintra City, March 17, 2025 (Bravanews) - Some residents of João da Noly, on the island of Brava, have expressed deep concern about the deterioration of the access roads to their community. The precarious conditions of the roads have made it difficult to drive vehicles, transport goods and access basic services such as health and education.
The residents' main demands include cleaning and maintaining the roads. The accumulation of debris, weeds and potholes on the roads has made traffic dangerous and slow. Residents are calling for urgent cleaning and regular maintenance of the roads to ensure safety.
Another demand has to do with the reconstruction of protective walls. In some areas, road protection walls are damaged or non-existent, posing a risk of landslides and accidents, especially during the rainy season. Residents are calling for these walls to be rebuilt as a matter of urgency to avoid further problems.
"The situation of our roads is untenable," says one resident of João da Noly. "We are isolated and finding it difficult to carry out basic day-to-day activities. We need urgent action from the authorities to solve this problem."
The residents hope that the competent authorities will listen to their demands and take immediate action to improve the conditions of the access roads to João da Noly. Improved infrastructure is essential to guarantee the quality of life and development of the community.
