Nossa Senhora do Monte community asks for road improvements, banking services, post office and police presence

Among the population's main demands is the improvement of the access road to the Clara Gonçalves area and the Nossa Senhora do Monte health center. According to residents, the road is in a condition that makes movement difficult, especially for the sick, the elderly and the transportation of materials and goods. The population argues that upgrading the road is a long-standing need and should be considered a priority.

Another concern of the community is the lack of essential services. Many residents say that a large parish like Nossa Senhora do Monte shouldn't continue without basic services such as an organized market, an ATM to avoid frequent trips to Vila Nova Sintra to withdraw money, a post office and a police station to ensure greater security and proximity to the authorities

Another concern of the community is the lack of essential services.

Currently, in order to deal with many matters, withdraw money, send correspondence or resolve administrative issues, residents are forced to travel to Vila Nova Sintra, which involves costs and transportation difficulties.

Some residents say that these demands are not politically motivated, but rather community-based. According to them, the aim is simply to draw attention to the needs of the parish and fight for better conditions for the population.

"Nossa Senhora do Monte is a large parish and has almost nothing. This isn't politics, it's for the betterment of our land and our people," said one resident, advocating more investment and state presence in the area.

The population hopes that the local and national authorities can take a closer look at Nossa Senhora do Monte, especially in areas such as infrastructure, security, banking and public services, which are considered essential for the development of the community and to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants.
