The councilor of the PSOE in the city of Lorca, María Antonia García Jiménez has demanded the current mayor an "immediate" solution to the situation of "abandonment and filth" presented by the patrimonial environment of the colegiata de San Patricio, which ensures "is systemic and endemic. "
The mayor says that Lorca is missing a "historic" opportunity to not take full enough the claim that has meant the restoration of the Collegiate.
Garcia Jimenez says that the lack of cleanliness that presents the perimeter of the Collegiate Lorca "distances visitors" because it offers an "undesirable" image that "nothing favors the projection and promotion of tourism" which ensures is "the jewel of the crown of regional heritage ".
The mayor adds that the PP "has not lived up to" being "unable" to strategically adjust this environment despite the million-dollar investment for the rehabilitation of the temple.
María Antonia García demands that the PP adopt "urgent measures" to repair and clean the urban areas adjacent to the Collegiate to end the "dirty and tedious" image of what it says should be a "pointer" environment for tourism lorquino .
The mayor says that it is enough to appreciate the state of the streets and nearby places to verify that the Popular Party "has not done anything" to maintain these spaces and adapt them according to the rehabilitation of the Collegiate Lorca that ensures "has been the monumental repair most important of the last ten years in the Region of Murcia. "
García Jiménez encourages PP councilors to "if they have no idea how to take care of the Lorca heritage, start by calling their counterparts from Ubeda, Baza or Toledo" to take an example of these national referents in the custody and conservation of historic heritage and monumental.
From Zapatería street to Alfonso X street, passing through Plaza del Caño, Plaza de España or Selgas street, you can check the status of "abandonment and dirt" denounced by the Socialists.
As for the more direct environment to the Collegiate Church of San Patricio, García Jiménez has once again denounced the unfortunate aspect of Plaza Cardenal Belluga, annexed to the old Comarcal Center of the city.
The urban furniture is "very deteriorated" even with the risk of detachment of some of its elements.
In addition, it is a continuous object of vandalism and place of accumulation of garbage and excrement of animals.
The neglect is such that since completion of the rehabilitation of the Collegiate Town Hall has not been able to clean scuppers in front of the Lorca temple "obstructed by garbage and materials used during construction."
The condition of the pavement, also deteriorated, is also linked to the dirt that accumulates the environment of the underground containers of the Caño square.
The mayor urges the PP to solve urgently this lack of maintenance that ensures is "disrespectful" with Lorca heritage and "contrary" to the cultural and tourist policy that deserves our historic center.
