It is one of the most significant enclaves of Lope Gisbert street.
The renovation of the pavement was carried out on an area of ​​235 square meters, which has been executed by the beneficiaries of the Entrebarrios youth program.
The Councilor for Local Development of the City of Lorca, Sandra Martinez, has supervised the completion of work to improve the atrium of the church of San Mateo, which have been carried out by this municipal area throughout the last weeks.
In this place has been made partial demolition of the concrete hearth that was in poor condition, replenishing with reinforced hearth of 15 cm with concrete.
The paving of the square has been made with flamed black granite slab of 6 cms (65 m2), and cobblestone stone of 6 cms (160 m2).
Martínez Navarro explained that this is an action that has been possible thanks to the work developed by students of the "Entrebarrios" Youth Guarantee Program, beneficiaries of the workshop called "Auxiliary operations of rigid finishes and urbanization".
We are talking about a project that is part of the Joint Employment and Training Program and is subsidized by the Employment and Training Service with 350,000 euros.
The project, which will remain active until the end of March 2018, consists of theoretical and practical training and during the first 3 months will receive a scholarship for assistance of 9 € / day and the remaining 9 months, until the end of the year, will be hired in so they will receive a scholarship of € 619.24 / month.
The Councilor for Employment has stated that this initiative has a double positive impact, as the participating students are forming, the materialization of their practices contributes to the improvement of enclaves of our city, as is the case of the church atrium of San Mateo.
In this way the group has renovated the broken or deteriorated flooring in the atrium of the church of San Mateo;
the 8 students who are part of it have acted on an area of ​​275 m2, proceeding with the replacement with slab of flamed black granite and cobblestone stone of the head, following the same aesthetics of Lope Gisbert Street and favoring its urban integration.
It should be noted that the "Entrebarrios" program has a grant of SEF of 350,000 euros and 32 young Lorca benefit.
The objective is that during a year they will be formed and learn a new trade while they carry out minor works destined to improve several enclaves of the municipality.
The students are being trained in auxiliary operations in nurseries, gardens and garden centers, auxiliary operations of assembly and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment, as well as auxiliary operations of rigid finishes and urbanization.
