PCP questions Lisbon City Council over water leaks at Luís de Camões School

The Luís de Camões basic school in Areeiro was closed on Tuesday 10 November 2026 due to water leaks in the roof, despite previous renovation works intended to fix the issue. The PCP municipal party has formally questioned the Lisbon City Council regarding why the repairs were ineffective and requested a status update on plans for a full structural renovation of the building.

Why it matters

If you are a parent or guardian of a student at this school, this confirms the closure and ongoing uncertainty regarding the facility's safety and the timeline for permanent repairs.
