SloveniaThe Local House in Bresternica presented completed significant investments made under the Participatory Budget of the City of Maribor today. The total investment amounted to €63,000, which was higher than the initial proposal of €30,000 by resident Veronika Županek. Originally planned improvements included lighting, kitchen renovation, and floor coverings, but after careful consideration, additional necessary upgrades were implemented. These include complete floor renewal in the hall (new reinforced concrete slab, underfloor heating, and new floor covering), local ventilation, installation of an accessible toilet, and construction of a ramp for people with mobility impairments. The project involved multiple contractors, with costs totaling €63,000 including taxes. The improvements significantly enhance accessibility and usability of the space, which is used daily for various community activities such as table tennis, boxing classes, yoga, and cultural events. Residents expressed gratitude towards Veronika Županek, who initiated the idea, although she could not attend the opening due to her passing.
