Pueblo Libre: neighbors install fence in park and now you can only enter with a key

Granada Park is a public park with a sports court, garbage cans and large green areas; but only a select group of people can use it. This is because the neighbors who live near it have fenced it with bars and it can only be entered with a key.

The situation has generated controversy and protests, as the bars make the street a dead-end zone. There are even neighbors in nearby streets, in the same district of Pueblo Libre, who have never been able to enter.

“These areas of the bars, there are three bars in total, all three are completely closed. Only the owners inside have a key. (...) You can't escape and this is a dead end street,” a neighbor told the cameras of Buenos Dias Peru.

“I have never been able to enter because the gate is always closed. We've touched the gate and nobody opens me. However, I pay fees for all the parks in the district,” said another neighbor.

On the other hand, some neighbors have installed a pediment court and a barbecue area. These occupy part of the paths that surround the green area, but it is not known whether they were built with municipal authorization or not.

Now, the neighbors of Pueblo Libre decided to make their complaint public in the hope that the mayor will chaos their claims. They hope that better coordination will be achieved among all neighbors.

“It would be good if they put a schedule to prevent this park from making neighbors uncomfortable. It can be a time from 6 to 7 in the evening, something like they do in other organized districts,” proposed another neighbor; who also asks that entry into the park be allowed.

CAPACITY RESTRICTIONS IN CLOSED AND OPEN SPACES

The Ministry of Health (Minsa) lifted the capacity restrictions imposed on shops, recreation centers and institutions involving enclosed spaces, imposed since the arrival of COVID-19 in the country. This was stated in Supreme Decree No. 016-2022-PCM, published at the end of February.

This Supreme Decree establishes that persons over 12 years of age must present the physical or virtual card proving that they have completed, in Peru or abroad, their vaccination scheme against COVID-19. This article also establishes the requirement of the booster dose for people over 40 who are qualified to receive it.
