Shocking Neglect in the Maintenance of Fez’s Parks and Non-Functional Fountains Spark Residents’ Anger: Where is the Budget and Oversight?

The city of Fez is witnessing a noticeable decline in the condition of its parks and fountains, prompting residents to question the fate of the budgets allocated for maintenance and upkeep. With many fountains, such as the one at Café Paul, remaining out of service for an extended period, the situation threatens to escalate future maintenance costs, amid the absence of any clear action from the responsible authorities.

Local sources confirm that this neglect is not limited to fountains alone but also extends to public parks, which are suffering from a severe lack of care. This tarnishes the city’s image in the eyes of visitors, especially since Fez is a prominent tourist destination.

Residents are questioning the nature of the contracts signed for the maintenance of these facilities and the extent to which the overseeing authorities are adhering to their terms, given the lack of any official explanations for this unjustified neglect. Is there actual oversight of how the budgets are being spent? Or is this just another instance of public funds being wasted without accountability?

While awaiting answers from the local authorities, the citizens of Fez remain hopeful for serious action that will restore the lost charm of these parks and fountains, rather than leaving them neglected until they become beyond repair.
