Pedro Sosa, Spokesman of the Municipal Group of IU-Verdes in the City of Lorca, will defend this Monday in the ordinary plenary session of January a proposal on the set of urban regeneration works that are executed in the city in charge of the EIB loan .

Sosa recalls that just a few days ago, on Friday, January 17, 2020, the Official Gazette of the Region of Murcia (BORM) published the nth resolution to extend the execution deadlines and justification of no less than five agreements (signed by the Ministry of Development and Infrastructure of the CARM and the City of Lorca) for the realization of urban regeneration works in various neighborhoods of Lorca affected by the earthquakes of 2011.

The mayor of IU-V affirms that the aforementioned publication occurs when in a very few months no less than eight years have elapsed since the granting of the signed loan, dated June 28, 2012, between CARM and the European Investment Bank ( EIB) for the recovery of Lorca, and which affects the urban renovation works of Santa Quiteria, San Cristóbal, Eulogio Periago;

Avda. De Juan Carlos I, adjacent and rural centers;

San Fernando Neighborhood spaces;

Fairgrounds of Santa Quiteria and other affected neighborhoods.

Sosa argues that "it is not the first time, nor unfortunately it will be the last, that we have been forced to publicly denounce the disastrous management of this loan and the works that are carried out in Lorca under his charge. A set of public works that In these eight years they have been characterized by lack of control, obscurantism, lack of planning, coordination, information and citizen participation, the generation of problems for businesses in Lorca, the intermittences in their execution, the non-establishment of priorities, the awarding to large foreign companies, the subcontracting and lack of professionalism of any of the subcontracted companies, the financing of works in other municipalities with the funds of a subsidy that we all know is a finalist and cannot jump from the limits of Lorca ... and all this also accompanied by an administration that is making an irresponsible abandonment of its supervisory functions and

control"

Currently, says the mayor of the left, we have multiple streets of the town of Lorca closed to vehicle traffic, with restrictions on pedestrian traffic, and some "open in the canal."

This has long been an important stretch of Europa Avenue and some of its adjacent streets, some urban roads of the Barrio de San Cristóbal, the Avenida de Santa Clara and adjacent, of the Vineyard in the surroundings of Cristo Rey , of the Carretera de Caravaca, the Camino Marín and other points of Lorca, while also announcing the completion of works in the Barrio de San Antonio and the closure of the connection there existing with the Mediterranean motorway.

There are many open works in which, in a good part of the cases, very few workers are seen working, when, what is reasonable, what marks common sense, should be the exact opposite: instead of having a whole city "legs up "with twenty works in which many times there are not more than three or four workers working, the reasonable thing would be to have few works in execution, with a more intense rhythm in them, in order to generate less problems for all Lorca citizens its workers, merchants and hoteliers, particularly affected.

So things and in order to prevent the announced start of the urban regeneration works of the San Antonio Neighborhood, with the construction of an underpass under the roundabout of the same, and the temporary closure of the link with the highway, end up aggravating The important traffic and mobility problems in Lorca, IU-V will ask the Plenary to adopt an agreement that literally asks that "the City Council - through three of its departments: Urban Planning, Development and Infrastructure and Traffic and Citizen Security - Prepare a study on the incidents in terms of traffic, mobility and urban accessibility, of the works that still remain to be executed from the EIB loan, to immediately urge the Ministry of Development and Infrastructure to sign a new agreement of collaboration that establishes a rational and coordinated planning of the set of works pending execution in Lorca, which is aimed at causing the least

ro of possible inconvenience to Lorca "
