Maintain what already exists before building anything new

The problem

Heritage sites and local monuments deteriorate for want of routine maintenance while new tourism infrastructure is announced.

Why it matters

A deteriorated monument cannot be rebuilt, and the deterioration is usually cheap to prevent and expensive to reverse.

Proposed solution

A citizen-photographed condition record for local heritage sites, with maintenance deficiencies filed as tracked issues.

How it would be implemented

Volunteers photograph sites on a schedule; deficiencies are escalated to the responsible authority.
