The Socialists are going to ask for explanations to the Mayor for the 60,000 euros thrown to the trash after the change of opinion on the location of this bridge, in addition, this will suppose that the "popular consultation" that was going away to realize finally will be in anything.
The Spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Diego José Mateos has shown his disbelief before the statements of the Mayor on the modification of the project that affects the bridge of La Torta.
Mateos recalls that more than 2 years ago the government team of the PP commissioned a project that cost 60,000 euros to find an alternative to the La Torta bridge, affected by the construction project of section III of the Central Evacuation Round, well, - regrets - "another 60,000 euros that, literally, are thrown away because the City Council has ordered another alternative for its maintenance in its current location, as proposed by the PSOE from the moment this controversial jump to public opinion .
In these statements, made on November 7, 2017 by the socialist mayor David Romera, noted that since the PSOE considered that "if the technicians consider as one of the valid options for the future Central Round save the Bridge of Cake is that the circumvallation runs under the bridge by means of the construction of entrance and exit ramps, we do not understand how other more radical measures are proposed that may even suppose that the structure of this centenary bridge could be damaged ", betting on the integral preservation of the centenary Puente de la Torta as an architectural and sentimental heritage, and that is integrated into the new Central Round so that it remains a place of passage for hundreds of neighbors.
Therefore, says Mateos, they will demand explanations of why this project was commissioned to remove the bridge when it has been demonstrated now, with the order of a new one, that the intention was for it to remain in its current situation.
In addition, in this sense, it is understood that the "popular consultation" that the Mayor said was going to be convened will not be carried out, which implies a new change of opinion as in the San Antonio Lower Pass, the San Pedro AAVV or the implementation of the radar.
