Pedro Sosa, spokesman councilor of the United Left Greens in the municipality of Lorca, announced this morning another of the motions that his municipal group will present to the plenary next Monday, November 25, consisting of the necessary and urgent recovery of the Historic District.
Sosa recalled that despite six months have passed since the municipal elections, rehabilitation measures for a historic group that seems to have been bombed are still not applied, except the placement of fences and tapes to protect pedestrians from falling fragments of The cornices.
It is true that the churches have been restored, and also that some families of the city have been very generously subsidized who are seeing their "casoplones" restored and recovered with everyone's money and we still await the response of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of the branch to which, last September, we agreed to urge them to consider the opportunity to include "public return" measures in all investments (made and to be made) of the Master Plan for the Recovery of Cultural Heritage of Lorca.
In March 2017, the Local Government Board of this City Council agreed on the Formulation of the Advancement of the Special Plan for the Integral Protection and Rehabilitation of the Historic-Artistic Site of the City of Lorca and a period was established for interested parties to examine the file and submit how many alternatives and suggestions they deem appropriate, as the IU-V Lorca group did, but 18 months later, these and other allegations presented by different groups and individuals still do not leave the drawer where they were stored.
During all the time since the earthquakes of 2011, a large amount of money from the EIB loan has been used in works that, according to Sosa, were not so urgent, while real estate classified as historic continues to deteriorate, and neither the City Council nor CARM have acted diligently to allocate part of that money from the EIB to the imperative recovery of the Historic District.
The agreements proposed for approval in the IU motion are as follows:
First.
- The City of Lorca will resume - with an urgent nature - the processing of the Advancement of PEPRICH, responding to the allegations made by the interested parties and following the necessary procedures until its completion with the approval of the new Special Plan.
Second.
- The City Council of Lorca will proceed to the elaboration of a new special systematic plan for the recovery of huge real estate historical heritage of our city, which must be financed with existing EIB funds, after achieving the timely reorientation of its objectives, as well as with all those resources that Lorca can obtain for this purpose, both from CARM, as from the State, as from the European Union.
Finally, Sosa has also announced another of his group's pleas for the next Plenary, in which they will request the arrangement and enhancement of access from the San Lázaro hermitage to the Los Pilones site to link with the Cejo route.
