The Municipal Socialist Group denounces that poor planning in the simultaneous execution of large-scale urban regeneration works in the city will create a huge chaos in the inner workings of the city that will affect road and pedestrian traffic, the commercial sector , To the life of neighborhoods that are isolated, and to the development of fairs and festivals that take place in Lorca in the month of September.
They regret that they did not take advantage of the summer months to give a significant advance to the works.
The Socialist Municipal Group in the City of Lorca, through the councilman David Romera, augurs a "chaotic September in the city" as a result of poor planning of the PP government team when it comes to implementing large urban regeneration works Span simultaneously, both in different neighborhoods as in the center of Lorca.
Works that he recognizes "are essential for the recovery of the city after the earthquakes that devastated it more than six years ago".
From the PSOE they do not understand "how it is possible that they were left for the last hour and to execute at the same time the works of urban regeneration of greater transcendence as they are those that affect the main arteries of the city", like the Avenue Juan Carlos I and Adjacent streets, Plaza de Carruajes, Avenida de Cervantes, and soon, the Avenues of Jerome Santa Fe and Santa Clara, "when there has been more than enough time to plan and execute them staggered in different annuities."
Now the usual, says Romera, is to see the streets "collapsed vehicles, without alternative routes or signage, with traffic lights that in many cases do not work, with pedestrians running between ditches from one side to another";
In this sense, Romera says that "Lorca has become a mousetrap from which it would be difficult to leave in case of emergency."
The annoyance generated by these works, says the Socialist mayor, is joined by the fact that no special plan has been put in place for traffic management that envisages alternative routes, nor are there any indicators that warn of the presence of areas under construction Cut to the traffic or available or dissuasive parking, which generates headaches not only to Lorca, but also to all those who visit Lorca for different reasons (tourist, labor, etc.), and who have to go around Place to another.
"This government team does things as if those who come from outside knew the city as the same Lorca," he says.
Romera also points out that, being half a city upside down, "urban public transport services have not been increased to facilitate the movement of the population inside Lorca, nor is it informed to the users of the changes in the route that Suffer from buses and incidents. "
Urban regeneration works also affect peripheral neighborhoods such as San Cristóbal, Los Angeles, Apolonia and Santa Quiteria-Virgen de las Huertas, whose neighbors, who suffer from the annoyances of day-to-day work, also complain that "their neighborhoods are Are isolated, with a multitude of cut streets, with no possibility of access to their homes, garages or work centers, and that the signaling of such incidents is non-existent or very deficient. "
They also complain that the works are executed very slowly and the discomfort lasts for months, lamenting the socialists who have not taken advantage of the summer months to make significant progress to the works and these are executed at half-gas.
Lastly, the socialist mayor says that the month of September "is very important for Lorca, not only for the fairs and festivals that are held in the city, but also because it is a very important month for the commercial and services sector, At the same time that it supposes the return of vacations of many lorquinos and the entrance in operation of all the schools.With half city upstairs by a bad planning in the execution of the main works of urban regeneration by part of Government of the PP, "There is a chaotic autumn that will negatively affect everything that has to do with the inner workings of the city in terms of pedestrian and pedestrian traffic, the celebration of different fairs and parties, around the Cole, and the commercial sector, which is not going through its best moment due to the continued closure of establishments due to the lack of customers who find a city under construction inc
