In addition, the Socialist Group will request that, in the former Sancho Dávila barracks, a space be used as a museum or exhibition hall to collect the military past of Lorcapor, the relationship that the municipality had for decades with this association and with the Mallorca 13 Regiment.
The Spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Diego José Mateos has announced that his Municipal Group will request in the next plenary session the rehabilitation of the old maneuvering field of Carraclaca, currently in disuse, in a space dedicated to leisure, sport and leisure for enjoyment Of the citizenship of Lorca.
Mateos has claimed this wide area as a "perfect opportunity" to provide a space dedicated to leisure and sports that, by the way, "do not count residents in the axis of the city comprising the neighborhoods of San Cristóbal , San Diego, Los Angeles, Apolonia, Avenida Armed Forces, or the nearby districts of Tercia or La Hoya.
According to the socialist spokesperson, "because of its large dimensions, which once served to house the maneuvering area of ​​Carraclaca, and its enclave, located between large forest masses," make this space an "optimal scenario" for its Use and use as a "great natural space for families and sports fans".
Among the agreements that the Socialist Group will demand through its motion to be able to realize this initiative, highlights the express request that the City of Lorca must urge the Ministry of Defense, owner of these lands, to initiate timely administrative procedures With which to obtain the transfer of this space to the municipality of Lorca.
As for the rehabilitation project of the old field of maneuvers of Carraclaca, Mateos has reminded that some of its infrastructures and accesses still exist that, despite their logic of deterioration due to the passage of time, could still be used.
For this reason, it ensures that the state of conservation of many of these infrastructures, together with the great extension of forest mass in which this old field of maneuver is inserted, endorse the idea of ​​making this rehabilitation possible, since it would help that the City Council of Lorca did not have That make big investments ".
They propose the creation of a museum to collect the "military past" of Lorca

It would thus fulfill a historic claim of the Association of Friends of the Infantry Regiment "Majorca n ° 13", who "demand the construction of a museum or permanent exhibition room with military themes to host a compilation of the broad historical legacy left by this Military establishment in the city, and that surely their owners would give up those military elements for their exhibition.
