A group of citizens in Gaia has expressed opposition to the proposal to fence off Jardim do Morro through a petition that has already gathered over 1000 signatures. The signatories are calling for the immediate suspension of the procedure aimed at enclosing the space and establishing operating hours.

The Gaia City Council, led by the mayor, justified the measure by citing complaints from residents about the use of the park. However, the mayor stated that the space will remain free of charge, despite the implementation of the new regulations.

The controversy surrounding the fencing has generated reactions among local residents, who oppose the proposed restrictions and advocate for free access to the garden. The petition reflects this discord and the search for a compromise that serves the interests of the community.

This situation raises questions about the balance between safety and the use of public spaces in the city, as the City Council seeks to address residents' complaints.
