The project has achieved its planned aim to contribute to the improvement of public services and the attractiveness of the village. Specifically: 1) The repair of the village hall house allows its better use, and has improved safety for its users; 2) The reconstruction of the exterior of the village hall has increased the attractiveness of village; 3) The new rest and play zone for children has become a safe playground for children and also 'kids of all ages'.

The playgound zone has proven to bring together not only children but also adult inhabitants and the facility supports outside physical activities throughout the year.
