The socialists echo the protests of the neighbors, because the concentration of substitute containers on the surface for many weeks is assuming the accumulation of waste on the street due to its low capacity, generation of bad smells and the appearance of insects.
They also consider it an error that buried containers should not be installed in the Ramblilla de Tejares.
The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group in the City of Lorca, David Romera, has reported that there is distributed in different streets of the neighborhood of San Cristobal de Lorca about fifteen underground containers "that have not worked for many weeks, and even months," that is generating numerous problems that are bothering the neighbors of the area.
Most of these containers were painted recently with the urban regeneration works carried out in the neighborhood.
After many months of enduring the neighbors the execution of the works, now they find that one of the main urban services does not work.
The councilman blames the current situation "to the lack of a quick and effective response from the PP government team to solve this problem."
Romera has indicated that "we find three islets located in very central areas of the neighborhood where underground containers are closed with padlocks, even many of them are surrounded by metal fences."
It is about fifteen containers, mostly for the deposit of organic waste, located in the streets Caballón-Ortega Melgares, Los Voluntarios and Plaza de las Hortalizas.
These containers have been replaced by other containers on the surface, but in an insufficient quantity, which is causing numerous inconveniences to the neighborhood.
The socialist mayor has echoed the complaints of neighbors, both pedestrians and residents living in buildings adjoining the containers: "The concentration of up to six containers on the surface for organic waste causes the neighbors suffer the effects of the bad odors, the concentration of mosquitoes and other insects, and the accumulation of garbage in the street, with the dirt that this entails, given the lack of capacity of many of them, especially these summer months where very high temperatures are reached. they favor the rapid decomposition of organic waste. "
Romera does not understand that the underground containers in San Cristóbal "have been spoiled for a long time and others, like those on Volunteers street without service since its inauguration more than 2 years ago" and demand, on the one hand, "an explanation to the councilor responsible for the municipal cleaning company LIMUSA why there is no immediate solution to the residents of the neighborhood who have been suffering this situation day after day and night after night, "and claims" that immediately proceed to the settlement of located underground containers in the streets Caballón-Ortega Melgares, Los Voluntarios and Plaza de las Hortalizas "to end with" this sad spectacle that harms the neighbors and damages the image of the Barrio de San Cristóbal and all of Lorca ".
Finally, the socialist mayor regrets that "finally buried containers that were planned with the urban regeneration works carried out in the Ramblilla de Tejares, were not placed despite being a request of the neighborhood association of the neighborhood by a lack of will of the PP government team that preferred to leave them on the surface, which has been a grievance compared to other slums of Lorca.
