Town of Tomé Barraz calls for the construction of a community center for young people
Cidade de Nova Sintra, February 24, 2026 (Bravanews) - The population of the town of Tomé Barraz has launched an appeal to the authorities to build a community center, pointing out the urgent need for a suitable space where young people can occupy their free time in a healthy and productive way.
According to residents interviewed by the community, the lack of recreational and educational facilities has limited opportunities for local young people, who currently have few alternatives for leisure, socializing and personal development.
"Young people need their own space, where they can practice cultural, educational and sporting activities," said one resident, adding that the creation of a community center could help prevent risky behavior and strengthen the social fabric.
The population argues that the future center will be able to host training, workshops, youth meetings and cultural initiatives, acting as a dynamic hub for community life in Tomé Barraz.
The residents also believe that investing in youth is investing in the future of the town, so they hope that the appeal will be considered by the competent authorities and included in the next development plans.
The community now awaits a response from the authorities and reaffirms its willingness to collaborate in initiatives aimed at bringing the project to fruition.
