•     A number of women seeking in-vitro fertilization treatment at the Women’s Hospital have complained about delays and a waiting period of up to six months for appointments. They also say that cases that need monthly follow-up by a specialist for better results are not given due attention.
•     Some people have suggested that Al Nasser Street be made a one-way road in order to create enough parking spaces and to ease the traffic jams that occur every day.
•     Residents of Abu Hamour have demanded that the authorities prevent people from parking their vehicles for long periods beside the road in front of one Asian school, as many people park their vehicles improperly and wait in their cars for students, and this creates traffic problems.
•     Several citizens have demanded that the authorities make the process of licensing for animal farms easier by creating one office for this purpose involving the departments of environment protection and livestock affairs at the Ministry of Environment, to be located in a suitable place for the owners of livestock. 
•     There is talk about the decision to have concurrent annual vacations and examinations in schools and universities, and the introduction of concurrent mid-term vacations in Independent schools.
