Urgent Call from Eligh Extension Residents
Residents of the Eligh Extension area, situated in the Al-Hay Al-Mohammedi district of Agadir, have issued an urgent plea to local authorities and elected councils to intervene and address what they describe as a deteriorating state of infrastructure and the overall environment of their neighborhood. According to several inhabitants who communicated their concerns to Agadir24, the area has been experiencing daily disruptions that adversely affect the quality of life. This is particularly concerning given that the region is expected to receive regular attention in terms of maintenance, cleanliness, and lighting.
Key Issues Faced by the Community
The condition of the roads is at the forefront of the residents' complaints, with some sections having transformed into potholes and cracks that hinder normal traffic flow. Residents report that these conditions frequently cause damage to vehicles and other road users. However, the residents' challenges do not end with the roads; they are also voicing concerns about inadequate street lighting in various places, plunging certain alleys and passageways into darkness at night, which raises safety concerns for residents, particularly for children, women, and the elderly.
Moreover, the presence of stray dogs in the vicinity has heightened worries among residents regarding potential risks to the safety of children and pedestrians, especially during early morning and evening hours. In addition to these pressing issues, residents have noted a decline in cleanliness, with waste and construction debris accumulating in several areas surrounding the villas, adversely affecting the visual appeal of the neighborhood and raising health and environmental concerns.
The community believes that the continuation of these conditions is incompatible with the neighborhood's reputation and the residents' right to a clean and safe living environment. This is particularly significant as the area lies within an urban space that is undergoing continuous expansion, necessitating a genuine commitment to enhancing essential services.
Residents are calling for urgent action to repair damaged roads, renew the public lighting network, address the issue of stray dogs, and organize regular cleaning campaigns while monitoring the indiscriminate dumping of construction waste. Furthermore, they urge the relevant authorities to take their complaints seriously, open direct communication channels with the community to identify field priorities, and establish a clear plan to restore the neighborhood’s former glory.
Local observers suggest that such complaints highlight the need for a proactive approach in managing residential areas, focusing on regular maintenance, listening to residents, and linking urban development projects with citizens' daily needs. The residents of Eligh Extension continue to await tangible interventions that will restore their neighborhood's image and ensure their rights to a healthy environment, safe roads, adequate lighting, and urban services that uphold their dignity and quality of life.
