It is also linked to the process of drawing up the Comprehensive Accessibility Plan for Huelva, with which the City Council is working to identify barriers and define a municipal strategy in areas such as the urban environment, mobility, public buildings, services and communication.
The deputy mayor for Family and Social Services, Adela de Mora, has encouraged citizens to take part and has valued the collaboration between administrations, social organisations and citizens to «move towards a Huelva in which all people can develop their life project with the necessary support and without barriers that limit their opportunities».
