The councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes, Gloria Martín, announced today that her political training will give voice to the residents of Doña Inés at the next municipal plenary session so that a document prepared by the residents' association of this deputation can be debated, in which their needs are reflected and a battery of actions are proposed for their conditioning and improvement.

Martín said it is "a wonderful revulsive" to verify that there are neighbors involved in the defense of our peoples and he recalled that Doña Inés, located in the northernmost part of the municipality, 35 kilometers from the urban center of Lorca, is one of the deputations most severely affected by the phenomenon of depopulation.

At the moment it has a population of 145 inhabitants, being the least inhabited of the Highlands.

However, in recent times some young families have decided to settle in Doña Inés, which is an opportunity for their repopulation and to reactivate the associative fabric.

For IU guarantee the survival of this emblematic population center and the adequate living conditions of its inhabitants, can not be done without the help of public administrations, especially the City of Lorca, which is a fundamental and indispensable actor to enhance the undeniable attractions of the area and its indigenous resources, linked to the rural environment.

"Without this commitment, Doña Inés, like other peoples with similar characteristics, will be condemned to extinction and oblivion," said Martín.

For this reason, the Municipal Group of United Left-The Greens will raise to the plenary the vindications of the neighbors that include, among others, the erecting of the entrances to the town, the implantation of measures reductoras of the speed and traffic signals to increase the safety of pedestrians, the settlement of the La Vega road, in the stretch of junction with the Lorca-Caravaca highway (RM-711), currently in a very poor state of conservation, the remodeling of the Plaza, or continuing with the actions carried out in the pond so that it can recover its reservoir capacity and undertake an environmental recovery project to favor the nesting of aquatic birds.

The neighbors also ask for the cleaning and conditioning of the channel of the stream and its surroundings, as well as the existing water sources in the town (El Pocico and Los Cantos) to favor their pedestrian access.

Other measures are the restoration of the mine and the recovery of the centenary washings existing in the town with the purpose of recovering the ethnographic heritage of the area, and the improvement of the laundries located in the surroundings of the pond so that they recover their original appearance and can be consolidated as a space for leisure and entertainment.

They also request the implementation of an action plan for the rehabilitation of homes in a state of ruin and abandoned lots that oblige their owners to comply with the duty to keep them in the proper conditions of safety and health, as dictated by the regulations in force, the placement of lighting in the recreational area of ​​the petanque courts, the asphalting and conditioning of the road used as a detour for the transit of heavy vehicles that serve the agricultural and livestock farms in the area or the construction of a track sports as Doña Ines is the only district of the Highlands of Lorca that lacks this type of installation and there are neighbors, especially young people and children who demand this type of space.

Martín will take advantage of these days to refer to the councils involved specific requests that IU will try to negotiate so that, on the day of the vote in the Plenary, the approval of the maximum number of actions requested in favor of the neighbors can be obtained, " that are the authentic authors and protagonists of that motion ".

Finally, the mayor of IU-Greens recalled the commitment of their political formation with the Highlands of Lorca and the fight against the phenomenon of depopulation.

Only in the last year and a half, 54 actions have been carried out that put the accent on the problem of this area, between notes and wheels of prey, written requests to the local government and motions, including the steps taken to move the Parliament European the problem of depopulation in the northern towns of Lorca and that led to the European deputy of IU, Paloma Lopez to meet in La Paca with affected neighbors.
