San Lucas square upgrade in Jerez delayed until hotel work is complete
Jerez Mayor María José García-Pelayo presented plans to renovate San Lucas square to the Tres Caídas brotherhood, which uses the church there.
The €120,000 project would improve the pedestrian route between Jesús de las Tres Caídas Street and the lower part of the square, and adapt access for a future hotel.
The tender will wait until hotel construction ends, so the square work has no start date in the information given.
The brotherhood wants the church steps replaced with a permanent ramp to make access easier for people with disabilities.
The plan also includes a lasting way for religious procession platforms to pass through the church entrance, while a request to open a side door is still being processed.
Separately, a brotherhood building planned for Plaza Belén is delayed by procedures involving the diocese and a new diocesan rule.
The Virgen de Guadalupe statue is being restored; the first phase strengthened its structure, and work on its painted surfaces is due to follow.
Jerez mayor María José García-Pelayo said work to renovate San Lucas square will not be put out to tender until construction of a hotel there is complete.
The proposed municipal project has a budget of €120,000 and would improve the pedestrian link between Jesús de las Tres Caídas street and the lower part of the square.
The project also includes access changes for the future hotel and a permanent route for processional floats from the church.
The Tres Caídas brotherhood asked for the existing steps to be replaced with a permanent ramp to improve access for people with disabilities.
The meeting also covered a proposed brotherhood house, a side door at the church and the restoration of the Virgin of Guadalupe statue.
