It is common knowledge that several facilities need the extra
amount of money that is offered by our local authorities. But
which one should receive it? This is a topic that is often discussed but rarely solved. On the one hand, the increasing number of childhood illnesses caused by pollution and the lack of green spaces influences the will of our community to spend more money in public gardens. Even though the positive consequences of encouraging our government to invest in such facilities are not seen in the short term, the reduction of contaminant gases may be observed after a few years. In addition, many people agree that everyone would enjoy having more parks. On the other hand, it is a fact that our cultural heritage is in danger due to the lukewarm passion of our community. Consequently, spending money in our local museums in order to improve their features and arouse the interest of neightbours appears as an important issue. Furthermore, modernising these institutions may attract unexpected tourists to our town. Taking all arguments into consideration, it seems to me that our local authorities should spend money on public gardens. At first sight, I would say that investing in museums is as necessary as improving parks. Nevertheless, according to a recent survey, only few people would find museums interesting, whereas the hole town could enjoy better public spaces.
