From the PSOE Lorca show their concern about the state of danger of the hillside of the castle and the closure of the accesses, which together with the damages to tourism, could pose a risk situation and need for evacuation in case of emergency in the National Parador Or in the grounds of Lorca Taller del Tiempo.
From the socialist party, its Deputy Speaker, María Soledad Sánchez Jódar, has requested that the necessary steps be taken to condition the access to the Castle of Lorca by the San Jose neighborhood, from La Quinta to Los Pilones.
Such conditioning would include the asphalting of the currently existing dirt track and its extension in the narrower sections so that it could be used in two directions by the vehicles.
Likewise, Sánchez Jódar proposes to study the possibility of including a shoulder of adequate dimensions to be used by the numerous neighbors who use said dirt track to make trekking or to cycle with the bicycle, which would benefit both tourists and Come to our city to visit the castle or the Parador Nacional de Turismo, as well as the citizens of Lorca who come to the environment of the Pilones and the Route of the Cejo de los Enamorados to practice healthy habits.
This action adds the socialist mayor - should be complementary to that of consolidating the massif of the castle that is "falling apart" and has already been initiated by the emergency procedure and should contemplate a comprehensive project to improve access to the Strength lorquina, undertaking improvements also in the road that leaves from the road of the Parish that needs an improvement in road safety, signaling and extension of platform.
As seen in the photographs, which Sánchez Jódar has contributed, these actions are necessary, since even situations of danger or emergency can be produced because it is undermining in some stretches the platform where the access road to the hostel is supported and, Also, it is necessary to take into account the chaos that can originate in case of an urgency that needs of the evacuation of the enclosure of Lorca Taller of the Time and of the National Parador of Tourism if they continue cutting the bypass roads as it currently happens or it was interrupted Traffic in the future by other landslides.
Therefore, the improvement, asphalting and conditioning of the dirt track that gives access to the castle grounds from San José, La Quinta site, to the Pilones is necessary both to have access alternatives to road traffic under normal conditions and to To mitigate the possible closures of the current accesses by landslides and actions and consolidation works, adds the mayor.
Finally from the PSOE call for the sanity and common sense of the government team and therefore abandon the crazy idea of ​​drilling the rocky mass of the castle to carry out the lift and to allocate those 2 million euros to the integral improvement Of the accesses to the walled enclosure, as much from San José, as from the road of La Parroquia.
