The City Council receives a new complaint denouncing an agreement signed without being supported by any report by official bodies.
They thought to build 3,924 homes in the hamlet of La Campana.
The councilman of Economy and Finance in the City of Lorca, Juan Francisco Martínez, has reported that Lorca will have to pay another 792,637.20 euros because of the 17 urban agreements planned in Inadequate Land for Urban Development (SIDU) approved alone by a previous administration between November 2005 and June 2006. The news, which is a major loss to the municipal coffers, has arrived just a few weeks ago, when the promoters have directed a letter addressed to the Plenary Session of the Municipal Consistory that they express their express denunciation on the mentioned document, and request the return of the amounts delivered to the City Council, in addition to the corresponding legal interests according to law.
The councilman of Economy has said that this was one of the few SIDU agreements whose promoters had not yet denounced, and is linked with the dozen that has already been claimed.
To date, the agreements that have demanded the return of the anticipated money are Suelo y Vivienda 2000 SL, La Fuensanta Parking, Las Palmeras Service Station, Ineyfam, Mediterranean Agricultural Operator, Valladolid Great Habitat, Ryszard, Lerna Development, Agrupapulpí, Time Logistic, Terracamp and Grupo Generala services.
The total amount that Lorca have to return to those who signed these urban agreements amounts to 10,240,538.46 euros, of which 9,074,652.08 € have already been paid, and 1,165,886.38 € remains pending payment.
It is recalled that the money that the previous administration entered and spent under these agreements approved alone with the rejection of all opposition amounted to 8,914,812 euros, while now it has had to return that amount plus 1,325,726.46 €
Martinez Carrasco has anticipated that the City is studying at this time how it could deal with the payment of this new blow against the municipal coffers, which is a setback for all Lorca.
In any case, the objective is that these incidents do not harm at all the correct provision of public services that citizens deserve, and that they do not include in municipal taxes.
Among the possibilities open to pay these judicial sentences has been established a system that allows Lorca, through the City Council, access to the Economic Promotion Fund (FIE), which gets that you can execute the payment directly to the promoters and cancel the debt, moving to pay more comfortably, flexibly and with less interest, in this case the Government of Spain.
It is a more agile mechanism with better conditions that would be found in the case of having to resort to the ordinary banking market.
El Edil de Economía has stated that the agreement signed with SAT Los Llanos is included in the municipal services as signed on November 3, 2005 on an area of ​​2,179,100 m2, indicating in the aforementioned document that "the City Council considers of municipal interest the establishment of a residential, sports and services area that allows the tourist and urban development of the area, within the policy of empowerment of urban action ".
There is no mention of how to provide water, sanitation and other services (communications, energy, cleaning ...) to the hypothetical residents in the constructions that were planned to be carried out.
It lacked, therefore, of the required reports on the matter on the part of the official organisms.
The agreement contemplated the construction of 3,924 homes on land located in the hamlet of La Campana.
Martínez Carrasco has indicated that, in general terms, the urban agreements in SIDU supposed that in Lorca 86,302 homes were going to be built, and they affected an area of ​​4,800 hectares.
