Quercus calls for government action on access to Grândola beaches

Quercus, an environmental association, stated that physical barriers continue to hinder access to beaches in the municipality of Grândola. The association made this assertion regarding the current access conditions, which, according to them, contradict previous statements made by Maria da Graça Carvalho that access issues were being resolved.

On Monday, Quercus reiterated its appeal to the government for clarification on the situation at Melides beaches. The association believes that, despite promises of improvements, controls and barriers that limit citizen movement still persist.

The environmental organization argued that free movement must be guaranteed, asserting that the current measures impose an unacceptable restriction on access to Melides beaches. This appeal arises in the broader context of a debate about accessibility to coastal areas.

Referring to the matter, Quercus emphasized the importance of ensuring that everyone has access to these natural spaces, which are essential for recreation and environmental preservation. The association is urging the government to take concrete actions to address the situation.

The situation has been reported by various sources, highlighting that the discussion surrounding beach access could impact coastal management policies in the long term.
