Community Infrastructure Advocacy: Sports Club Renovations and Airport Site Review

Community Infrastructure Improvement Proposals

These proposals consolidate suggestions from members for enhancing the safety, functionality, and overall experience at our local sports club, ensuring it remains a valuable community asset for fitness, social interaction, and mental well-being.

Facility Renovation Priorities

Locker Rooms and Restrooms

The current facilities are outdated and inconvenient. Urgent renovation is required to address hygiene and comfort:

  • Install new showers and upgrade fixtures.
  • Improve ventilation to eliminate unpleasant odors and ensure better air quality.

Gym and Training Areas

Improvements are needed to create a safer and more comfortable workout environment:

  • Upgrade existing equipment.
  • Enhance ventilation throughout the training areas.
  • Address the current darkness of the gym. Installing large windows would significantly improve natural lighting, creating a brighter and more welcoming atmosphere.

Safety and Maintenance

Immediate repairs are necessary to ensure member safety and facility longevity:

  • Repair the bumpy and unsafe flooring in the gym area immediately to prevent falls and injuries.
  • Improve general lighting throughout the facility.
  • Repair leaks in the roof to maintain structural integrity and functionality.
Benefits of Upgrades

These essential fixes would not only improve safety and hygiene but also attract new members, increasing club participation and ensuring members feel safe and enjoy coming more often.

Civic Action: Request to Reconsider Proposed Airport Location

We formally request the concerned authorities to reconsider the proposed construction of an airport within our residential locality, as this large-scale project poses significant negative impacts on community well-being and the environment.

Concerns Regarding Local Airport Construction

The construction and subsequent operation of an airport in this densely populated neighborhood would result in several severe consequences:

Environmental and Health Risks

  • Excessive Noise Pollution: This will severely disrupt the peaceful environment, negatively affecting the well-being of residents, particularly children and the elderly.
  • Air Pollution: Increased emissions from aircraft and traffic could pose serious health risks.
  • Habitat Destruction: The project requires the destruction of vital green spaces and natural habitats, leading to long-term environmental consequences.

Social and Economic Hardships

  • Family Displacement: The project may necessitate the relocation of many families, causing significant social and economic hardships.
  • Traffic Congestion: Increased traffic volume will exacerbate existing congestion issues.
  • Economic Impact: Rising land prices could make life more difficult for the local population.

Call for Alternative Site Selection

In light of these concerns, we urge the authorities to consider an alternative site for the airport, preferably in a less densely populated area where the environmental and social impact would be minimized. We hope that the community’s concerns will be taken into account and that more suitable locations will be explored.
