After the last episode of rockslide Saturday at the Riquelme street in the neighborhood of San Cristobal, they ask the team Popular Party government to urge technicians Urbanism to inspect regularly, and in the shortest time possible, the rock mass surrounding the homes of the Barrios Altos city

Councilman Municipal Socialist Group, David Romera, has asked the government team's Party to urge municipal technicians of the Department of Planning to "inspect in the shortest time possible stability of the rock mass that surround populated areas of the Barrios Altos city and the neighborhood of San Cristobal "after last Saturday rockslide large on a house in the street Riquelme is produced from a solid, on the western slope of Cabezo Calvary old and whose occupants miraculously saved his life.

In addition, they claim that these reviews are performed regularly as a preventative tool, given the latent risk of landslides.

Romera added that "this situation, unfortunately, is not new, since it is still in the minds of many neighbors, the landslides that occurred in April last year in the same neighborhood, causing the eviction of five families from their homes; the rocks that have broken off from the bulk of the Castle and have been suspended in the steel mesh that was placed after the earthquake of 2011 as was the case with a rock half fall tonne in April 2013, the rocks that fell on Albaricos or eight years ago when he dropped another large stone on another house of San Cristobal ".

The PSOE Councillor considered very necessary to conduct these inspections "to prevent recurrence of such accidents in the Barrios Altos de Lorca", taking into account that these urban areas "are supported or are under clumps formed by Triassic material very unstable, especially after heavy rains stages, by earthquakes or sudden changes in temperature, such as red sandstone, limestone marl packages and iridescent ".

Ultimately, Romera believes that "desirable in these vulnerable urban areas to falling rocks or landslides terrain, is the placement, as was done in the massif of Castillo de Lorca, mesh retaining steel, to ensure the ground to minimize such risks, or the application of the technical measures necessary for neighbors of the Barrios Altos be quiet ".
