Renovation Work at Loja do Cidadão da Madeira

In Search of Hope – by Sam Gannon

Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

As of today, the 17th of January, there will be some constraints in the normal operation of the Loja do Cidadão da Madeira, due to the implementation of a new passive network infrastructure, within the scope of the ‘PRR AP Connect’ project, of the Regional Directorate of Informatics.

As of the 20th of January, the Loja do Cidadão da Madeira will be closed on Saturdays, for an estimated period of eight weeks.

During this same period, the service desks of the entities subject to the works to improve the passive network will be closed on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

“The work now underway is essential for the significant improvement of computer networks and services provided to citizens, as this investment will strengthen the quality of processes and align the Citizen’s Shop with the highest standards of technology and efficiency,” stated the Regional Secretariat for Finance.

During this period, the website of the Citizen’s Shop (https://lojacidadao.madeira.gov.pt/) will be a source of information on the operation and services that may be momentarily affected by this restructuring.

All work should be completed on the 11th of March when normal services will resume.
