Inaugurated on August 15, 2015, the Sandy Ground sports platform is a popular place for young people from the neighborhood, many of whom gather there every day to practice various sports, in particular to play basketball. However, for several weeks they have not been able to train for lack of baskets.
At the start of the year, one of the two panels broke away from the ground for "unknown reasons", then specified the Collectivity. As a security measure, the COM services removed it. “Since then it has still not been replaced and the second basket has also been removed,” observes Cédrik André, representative of the neighborhood council. “The kids can't play anymore and club members if they want to train have to go to Concordia! He adds.
“We have the impression that the neighborhood is forgotten. Nothing is done for young people. In Grand-Case, there are two sports arenas, here at Sandy Ground, there is only one while there are a lot of young people. The cultural center was destroyed by Irma and still has not been renovated, it is still in the same condition. There are no activities for young people. These are lost generations, ”says Cédrik André.
He completes his observation with the absence of sidewalks that can be walked on by pedestrians, of an optical fiber installation program, of aid to the most deprived people. "We are not helping the neighborhood to improve," he comments. (soualigapost.com)
