The councilor for this training, Gloria Martín, announced that she will take a motion to the Plenary in which she will ask for the increase of personnel and the implementation of a plan that, under technical criteria, establish objectives, contemplate actions, and set indicators so that it is possible to evaluate their follow-up and degree of compliance on a regular basis.
The councilor of the United Left-Greens, Gloria Martín, has denounced that the staff of the Officers of the City of Lorca for the repair, maintenance and maintenance of the public road currently consists of only three operators.
Martín called this endowment "ridiculous" taking into account the dimensions and characteristics of the municipality of Lorca.
The mayor of IU-Verdes recalled that Article 139 of the General Circulation Regulations, explains that responsibility for maintaining streets and road markings in the best possible safety conditions, corresponds to the owner of the road, "being able to avoid a greater effort economic in the event of possible claims or claims for civil liability ".
In that sense, he explained that the current lack of conservation increases the chances of citizens suffering accidents on the public highway.
In fact, only in the last month, there have been at least four falls of neighbors of important consideration that required health care.
Some of them, even, were broken with bone fractures.
In 2016 there were 23 patrimonial claims to the City Council for these reasons, and so far in 2017 13 have been filed.
Shameful state of the Old Way of the Port
As an example, Martín showed photographs of the "shameful state" in which the sidewalks of the Old Way of the Port are found, and that he has personally verified after the denunciations received by several neighbors of the zone, who have informed him of several falls, especially of elderly people.
Martín has put these facts in the knowledge of the responsible councilman in writing and has demanded their immediate repair through the competent municipal services.
For all these reasons, he insisted that the City of Lorca "must address the repair and maintenance of the public road, guaranteeing the security of citizenship and thus exercise a municipal competence that is their own."
In this sense, Izquierda Unida is committed to a specific plan that, based on technical criteria, establish objectives, contemplate actions, and set indicators so that it is possible to evaluate their follow-up and degree of compliance on a regular basis.
Young people from the employment workshops without protective equipment
"The preventive and corrective tasks that need the public spaces of the municipality should be entrusted to workers with the requisite professional qualification and in decent working and retributive conditions, and not to fall, as in practice, to the students of the workshops of training and employment, "said Martin.
In this regard, said that such students are handling dangerous tools, such as hammers hammers or radials, without the City has provided them with individual protection equipment.
"The Consistory not only takes advantage of the temporality and precariousness that affects these young people, but also does not guarantee their safety at work," said Martín, who already made these facts known to the mayor last Friday, "without adopted measures ".
In short, IU will present a motion to the next Municipal Plenary so that, within three months, the municipal government team will present a Plan for the maintenance of public roads and spaces "that includes objectives, actions and indicators to be able to follow up and assess their degree of compliance on a quarterly basis. "
In this regard, it will request that the website of the City Council reflect each of the actions of said plan that will be implemented in the different areas of the city.
It will also require the Consistory to increase the number of maintenance workers through the corresponding selective process to generate "quality employment" and offer citizens the services it requires.
