Pedro Sosa, a spokesman for Izquierda Unida Verdes in the town hall of Lorca, accompanied by several traders from Plaza de la Hortaliza in San Cristóbal neighborhood, gave a press conference this morning to show his concern and indignation By the fall of sales and the circulatory chaos that the improvement works that are running in place are producing.
The hurry to carry out these works before the end of the European Investment Bank loan for the recovery of the city in the wake of the earthquake in December 2011 has led the government team to carry out all the improvement of the streets In unison, leaving the Plaza de la Hortaliza practically isolated, which can only be accessed now by Los Arcos street and without parking available around.
Sosa has criticized that the lack of organization and coordination of the government team and the mayor with the neighbors and local merchants to look for solutions, has given rise to all this mess, in which in addition to the fall in sales has become Almost impossible to move around the area, so you wonder what would happen if emergency vehicles had to go through a fire or other vital emergency in the San Cristóbal neighborhood.
Cati, one of the owners of the posts of said Plaza, has described the current situation of "unsustainable", since the reduction of sales for the summer period, now we must add all this, so he asks that at least Finish a street that can be accessed directly and then continue with the others.
Isabel, another of the merchants says they will stand "while they can," but that the absence of alternatives makes it very difficult for the immediate future.
