Izquierda Unida-Verdes de Lorca has warned today that the Autonomous Budgets for 2017 do not contemplate any departure for the integral remodeling of the Sports Complex of La Torrecilla, that, theoretically, was going away to execute from the remnants of the loan of the European Bank of Investment (EIB).

The councilor of this training, Gloria Martín, recalled that in April 2015, in the midst of the last municipal election campaign, the PP announced an investment of more than four million euros to "transform" this sports complex in the next two years .

The project included the complete remodeling of each of the units it hosts, providing it with the latest technology in terms of sports equipment, and converting this space into the "outdoor sports center model of southeast Spain".

To this end, it was intended to modify and improve access, perimeter closure, lighting and irrigation, create several multi-purpose and training rooms, renovate changing rooms, implement energy efficiency systems, expand green areas, remodel sports and Paddle making some decks, repairing the velodrome, covering the bleachers of the World 82 soccer field, building two squash courts, an archery gallery, a new larger and covered climbing wall, new summer pools and a gymnasium.

For Martin the need to act in this space is "unquestionable" given the demands of the sports groups collected by the PP government team itself, and because this infrastructure is seriously affected by the lack of renovation and maintenance, but, above all, For the earthquakes of 2011. However, almost five and a half years later, the promised comprehensive action is still not underway.

In line with this question, Gloria Martín has expressed "serious doubts" that this and other works that depend on the EIB are guaranteed.

"To date, no audit has been carried out with regard to the use of these funds, we do not know what the remnants are or what they are intended to be used for, and we are surprised by the paralysis in some actions that are already underway - as is the case with the auditorium - , Or the delay in starting others, such as the remodeling of the great arteries of the city, "said the mayor of IU-Greens.

"All this leads us to distrust about the management that the PP is making of this loan," he said.

On the other hand, Gloria Martín has demanded that the municipal government team undertakes reforestation and care of the existing forest area in the surroundings of the sports complex of La Torrecilla and to study the possibility of creating a green corridor that connects the city with This space which he said is "underutilized" for both sport and leisure related to nature.
