The motion states that the depopulation of the rural environment is a reality that seriously affects Spain since the mid-twentieth century, in recent years there has been a notable increase in the risk indicators related to this problem.

These risks consist in the aging of the population living in rural areas, to which must be added the exit of young population, the fall in the birth rate and the low demographic density.

In the short and medium term, all this causes a serious problem of demographic unviability of a large part of the Spanish rural municipalities, causing an increase in the costs of providing public services and sustaining infrastructures.

Depopulation is a problem that affects half of all Spanish municipalities, which are already at risk of extinction.

To try to solve this serious problem it is necessary to develop practical measures in various areas (economy, employment, infrastructure, services, housing, demographic incentives ...) involving public administrations at European, national, regional and municipal levels.

In Lorca city the problem of demographic regression does not take place, a situation that nevertheless if it is observed in several of its deputations, among which are the High Pedanías, reason why it is necessary to carry out a series of measures to avoid its depopulation in order to fix and attract population to rural areas.

These tables tried to address all matters of interest to neighbors such as: health, transportation, infrastructure, education, urban planning, public services, etc ... In this sense was working on a series of questionnaires in which neighbors could comment and present any opinion, suggestion or complaint in various meetings held over several months, as a result of which many proposals were obtained aimed at mitigating the phenomenon of depopulation, the maintenance of customs and livelihoods of these lands.
