The candidate for the Bhar Lazreg constituency in the La Marsa delegation, Rahal Ben Slama, has promised to take proactive measures to improve his area, which is considered underserved compared to other areas in La Marsa.
In a statement to TAP, Ben Slama stressed that his electoral agenda will focus on improving road infrastructure through the installation of various drainage channels.
Candidate Ben Slama, a farmer, stressed the urgent need for a comprehensive solution to the environmental disaster caused by the nearby riverbed.
He also promised to strengthen the transport network by building communal transport lines linking Bhar Lazreg to the town of La Marsa, as well as Tunis and Ariana.
The candidate has pledged to help unemployed young people to obtain licences to drive share-taxis and intends to set up a police station in the area, with a particular focus on protecting students near the educational complex.
He has also promised to work towards the creation of a cultural centre, a sports complex and
an administrative centre with financial offices, a municipal district, a post office, a night pharmacy, a hospital and private banking agencies.
La Marsa comprises 10 localities, namely Marsa Plage, Marsa Ville, Marsa Jardins, Marsa Riyadh, Rmila, Marsa Parc, Gammarth, Gammarth Supérieur, Sidi Daoued and Bhar Lazreg.
Residents of the region attach great importance to these elections, as they expect solutions to a number of pressing problems, including the dilapidated road network, inadequate public transport, poor education and health services, inadequate cleaning and sanitation services, and widespread unemployment.
