About thirty new parking spaces, the change of the source of the Plaza Antonio Navarro, improvements in the surrounding gardening or the creation of new pedestrian crossings between the planned actions.
The mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos, along with the Councilor for Development, Isabel Casalduero, have visited, this morning, the start of the work of reconditioning the neighborhood of Alfonso X.
Mateos explained that "through the Department of Local Development and Development, we are proceeding to carry out a series of works that are highly claimed by the residents of the Alfonso X neighborhood and that derive from the lack of attention received by the residents of this area when the renovation works of the neighborhood were carried out ".
The First Edil has detailed that "we are talking about a neighborhood in which none of its homes has parking and, therefore, we are working on the preparation of two annexed lots, coming from various demolitions produced by the earthquakes of May 2011 and which also had become a focus of unhealthiness since they accumulated garbage, weeds, insects and rodents. Work is now being done to put them at the service of the residents and that they can park their vehicles since more than a hundred parking spaces were removed during the renovation parking without taking into account the needs, requests and claims of neighbors ".
Mateos Molina has added that "it is a space of 500 square meters that is already being conditioned, thanks to the students of the employment and training programs organized by the Department of Local Development of this City Council, and that will allow up to 30 vehicles can be parked here.In addition, we are already working on the remodeling of the landscaping, including the creation of new pedestrian crossings since the gardening involves the neighborhood and in many cases forced to have to go around the block to access to housing. "
The mayor has announced that "we are going to replace the steel fountain located in the Plaza Antonio Navarro with another of stone, a model similar to the one before the remodeling. And the current source has caused many mishaps in the children of the area that every day they come to play in this square and since their installation the neighbors have demonstrated in innumerable occasions their malaise ".
"We are going to put an end to those failures that they left since their construction, as is the case with the mobile telephone wooden posts, and that after years of requests from the neighbors now we, the Socialist Party from the municipal government, are going to rush, "Mateos said.
Diego José Mateos has informed the approach from the Consistory of "carrying out various pressure measures to service supply companies, such as energy and telephone, to comply with the regulations because they are being very slow in managing change of the wiring when the pipes are already made not only in Alfonso X, but also in La Viña or San José. First we will try to make a 'mutual agreement', if it can not be suddenly that it is in phases and, ultimately, if if we did not obtain an answer, we could even issue execution orders and their subsequent transfer to the company in question. "
The mayor of Lorca has shown that "with these actions we try, as far as possible, to respond to all the requests that historically have made the neighbors of the neighborhood of Alfonso X, some requests that were not addressed at the time and to those that we are now trying to solve as is the case of the fountain in the Plaza, the surrounding garden or the telephone poles that, without service, still continue to affect the streets of the city. "
"We also continue working to alleviate this lack of parking not only in the Alfonso X neighborhood but throughout our city. Conditioning works that join those already carried out in other parts of Lorca and that we will continue to alleviate this serious situation in which the bad planning of the previous government team has resulted ".
