As a provisional measure and to revive the economy in these areas, the councilor Gloria Martín proposes to pedestrianize some streets in districts, at least during the five strong hours of service, for which it would be necessary to have alternative routes to traffic.
A measure that could also be extended to the urban area of ??Lorca for those establishments that do not have enough space to recover their activity. The councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes, Gloria Martín, has asked the government team of the Lorca City Council to cut streets for five hours on Saturdays and Sundays to facilitate the placement of tables at the doors of their establishments by hoteliers in the districts.
. The councilor explained that many people from Lorca will take advantage of phase 1 of the de-escalation, in which movements are already allowed within the province, to visit their elders, who have remained in the towns during the hardest stage of confinement.
For this reason, an increase in the influx of visitors to the rural areas of the municipal area is planned for the coming weekends, which will also increase the demand for hospitality services, which have been closed for two months. Some bar and restaurant owners have expressed concern to IU council members that their businesses are on narrow streets where there is no space to set tables, except that the driveway may be used. Therefore, as a provisional measure and to reactivate the economy in these areas, Martín proposes to pedestrianize some streets in districts, at least during the five strong hours of the service, for which it would be necessary to have alternative routes to traffic.
A measure that could also be extended to the urban area of ??Lorca for those establishments that do not have enough space to recover their activity. Martín has appealed to the sensitivity of the government team on this issue.
In this regard, the hard work that is being carried out through the Heritage service, Local Police and the Urban Planning area has been positively appreciated so that small entrepreneurs can start their terraces.
