The Socialist councilor Marisol Sanchez denounced the "deplorable state of neglect" of a number of more than thirty lots and vacant houses throughout the municipality.
He explained that the problem is "widespread" but that is particularly prevalent in the Barrios Altos de Lorca, the Barrio de San Cristobal and some deputies, "although there are some even in the Avenida Juan Carlos I" he said.
According to Sanchez said lots have become "true landfills', apart from the bad image they portray of our urban environment.
The mayor said that in the vast majority of cases, they are located near houses or buildings whose residents have to endure the dirt, odors and the fact that they have become a nest of rats and insect pests and parasites especially spurred on by high temperatures.
All this affected by the "apathy and neglect" by the municipal authorities, which he said that "if such basic failure will happen with most difficult situations."
It so happens that some of these sites are even owned by the City, and in others, there are neighborhood complaints for two years "while the other council members involved are dedicated to passing the buck to each other without solve the problem. "
For those that are privately owned, the Council can and should also carry out cleaning, acting in a subsidiary and subsequently deriving suppose it costs to homeowners, he said.
Therefore, the Municipal Socialist Group in the city of Lorca presented in Parliament next Monday a motion requesting that the City of Lorca proceed with the implementation of a database to identify those houses and plots have been abandoned and / or unhealthy.
PSOE also wants the Consistory is urging owners of lots that are able to clear abandonment, unhealthy, and without adequate protection, to clean it immediately, and your fence if necessary, applying safety measures necessary and a written warning of possible sanctions to be applied if no action on them.
For socialists it is important that the PP government team set up a coordination unit between the Department of Health, Planning and the Municipal Corporation to proceed with the implementation of actions for the eradication of these foci poor health through a comprehensive plan and public health security architecture.
Finally, we request that, within a period not exceeding three months, the city of Lorca of the approval of the City Health Ordinance prepared by the former government team prior consensus with other political groups.
