Pedro Sosa, Councilman United Left Greens in the city of Lorca has appeared before the media to claim the Hydrographic competent authorities, Central del Segura (CHS) and Department of Environment, the adequacy of wadis and riverbeds before the arrival of season torrential rains can occur in these months.
According to the mayor, since its formation has already asked repeatedly cleaning the channels of Rambla Salada;
the Barranco Hondo, which is in a bad situation, because the eyes of the bridge over the highway Caravaca do not match with each other, resulting in caps as in the last flood;
Rambla de Murcia, which was reached in the agreement to prevent flooding in the surrounding houses;
Rambla of bedpans and Misses in the Vineyard and so on.
Moreover, as repeatedly it denounced the dumping of this tire on the Rambla del Estrecho, which have recently been removed to prevent the same thing happen in the landfill Seseña.
Sosa took the opportunity to denounce a new landfill of tires and trash present on the banks of Guadalentín, just behind a utility room opposite the bar deficit and requested the mayor and responsible for planning and local environment, the Ms. Satur Martinez , to pressure the CHS, primarily responsible for maintaining the channels of the Region and the Ministry of Environment to implement the programs and actions relevant for proper alignment.
Finally, the mayor has stated that these illegal accumulations of tires, in addition to its aesthetic and environmental damage, constitute a potential source of infection for the development of the tiger mosquito and although according to the latest data collected on the presence of this species in the municipality are positive, we should not lower our guard, as the most effective measure to prevent its expansion is prevention and eradication of suitable places for reproduction.
