It provides for the creation of 6 districts where neighborhoods and districts of our municipality are included.
Citizens elect their representatives on the boards.
The proposal will be taken to the next full City Council.
The Mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, accompanied by the Councillor for Citizen Participation in the city council, Ana María Lidón has reported that the Local Government has this morning approved the Draft Organic Rules of the District Municipality.
This is a new impetus to the participation of citizens and municipal decentralization laying opted by the current municipal administration in 2007.
The mayor explained that this regulation projected municipal distribution in a total of 6 districts, according to different factors such as the balance of the number of inhabitants, the idiosyncratic criteria of the different areas and the distribution set for polling and their own habits and customs of residents in different parts of the large municipal Lorca (including village, districts, provincial and places).
These districts, in compliance with Law 57/2003 is configured as a self-territorial area, equipped with decentralized management bodies, to promote and develop public participation in the management of municipal affairs and improvement.
These are entities that we consider essential for the implementation of a municipal policy aimed at correcting imbalances and representing the interests of the various neighborhoods and districts of the municipality.
Attended this methodology, the 6 districts would be integrated as follows:
District 1: Avilés, Totana Zarzadilla River Torrealvilla, Barranco Hondo, Zarcilla, La Tova, Fontanares, Zarzalico, Béjar, Nogalte, Coy, Doña Inés, La Paca, Grill, Culebrina, Jarales, Humbrías and Ortillo.
District 2: Hoya, fennel, Terce, Marchena, Pulgara, Cazalla, Campillo, Tiata, Puntarrón and Torrecilla.
District 3: Almendricos, The Wire, Puri, Carrasquilla Aguaderas, Morata, Ramonete, Pozo Higuera and Garrobillo.
District 4: Los Angeles / Apolonia, San Cristobal, Ortillo River Barranco Hondo and Torrealvilla.
District 5: high Parish, Santiago, San Mateo, Island / The malls and Santa Quiteria / Virgen de las Huertas.
District 6: San Jose, The Vineyard, San Antonio, San Fernando and Sutullena / San Fernando.
Powers of Districts.
Districts may perform actions of different kinds (cultural, maintenance of local social, sports ...) and small repairs that do not require major work project, provided they do not overlap other already planned.
