MC Cartagena will bet tomorrow, during the extraordinary plenary session for the debate of the municipal budgets of 2018, by some amendments that remind the socialist government that "the main responsibility of the action of government is to improve the quality of life of the administered, optimizing for this, the available resources, "said the deputy speaker of the MC Cartagena municipal group, Isabel García.
García has assured that "in MC we are convinced that the Budget must serve and serve the Cartagena, advancing in the construction of a municipality in the medium and long term."
In this line, he added, "to the responsible management in the present, and respectful of the past, we must add a commitment to the future generations that we articulate in the Government through the mobility policies that we implement under the name 'M17' , and that they must have continuity with actions and sustainable policies that improve the deteriorated environment ".
In this line, has advanced that "we will present an amendment, which we have called 'Environmental recovery program of the municipal term V18, to give continuity to the environmental policies implemented by MC Cartagena, in terms of mobility and sustainability.
In addition, the mayor said that "we will request an economic allocation of one hundred thousand euros for the enhancement of the Cándido Garden in La Palma, added to the municipal heritage during the management of MC in the municipal government. popular from a whole neighborhood to the work of the one who owned it for more than half a century. "
The former owner gave this unique space to the City of Cartagena for its value, because due to his advanced age, the garden was stagnant in its maintenance and development.
The deputy spokesperson has asserted that "the society of Palma, aware of its heritage, has bet on participatory budgets for its full value, but the amount allocated to the development of this project, as some other participatory, will not give for its value, and would only improve the perimeter fencing and the cleaning of some material items inside. "
In order to stop its degradation, Isabel García has ended up saying that "we will require that the allocated part be complemented with a sufficient amount to restore irrigation, outline a design of the orchard and repopulate new species, all in order to achieve and maintain a space like its founder intended, directed to transmit to society the values ​​and knowledge of this natural heritage ".
Accessibility
On the other hand, the mayor María José Soler has indicated that we will present an initiative to "improve the measures of accessibility to the historic center to solve the just demands of neighbors, merchants and visitors because, before the placement of pots, fences tied with tapes and, even, vehicles of the Local Police, basic services see difficulties in accessing these areas. "
In response, Soler recalled that "MC Cartagena was already working on the placement of bollards with a system such as public parking, with identification cards or license plate readers so that all authorized vehicles could have access, an action that we hope will be incorporated to the investments of the municipal budget ".
On the other hand, he has continued to point out that "the socialist government allocations for the maintenance and maintenance of vertical signage and road marking are null and void." This abandonment of the maintenance programs draws an old and neglected municipality, and what is more worrying, the status of horizontal signage causes a situation of danger in many ways so, as reflected in our proposal for the 2018 budget, we propose an amendment to 'Maintenance of public roads' that allows to start up of a crash plan that guarantees road safety. "
Finally, the councilor of MC has shown that "the maintenance of free spaces is also a big forgotten socialist budget." The Government of Castejón does not increase the amount allocated to the maintenance of urban furniture, ie, those children's games installed massively by the Neighborhood Boards with the approval of Mr. Torralba and that present an unfortunate state of maintenance.After installed and made the photo, comes the abandonment.That is the PSOE level.Therefore, we will present another amendment to duplicate the budget item destined to 'Maintenance of urban furniture', as well as the incorporation of another item to replace it ".
It should be noted that these three amendments would involve an investment of 650,000 euros.
Decontamination of El Hondón
On the other hand, Francisco Calderón has announced the proposal of MC to incorporate a heading in the municipal budgets for the 'Development of decontamination plan for the land of El Hondón'.
In this way, MC expects that, "once completed by the UPCT the study of 'Characterization, diagnosis and risk analysis of soils, ponds and stockpiles in the plot of El Hondón', presented in the fall of 2017, we will advance in the decontamination project to put these lands at the service of Cartagena, solving a problem that affects public health, and that is a matter of essential concern for the future of the municipality. "
Likewise, Calderón has informed that the cartagenerista formation will request that a study be included on the quality of the water, "since it is responsibility of the City council of Cartagena the analytical control of the quality of the potable water, not being able to leave in the hands of the concessionaire the only controls the tap water of the consumer ".
"In addition, there should be controls on the pubic drinkers (which nobody is currently doing) and analytical control of legionella and municipal wells."
"In certain areas of the municipality, increasingly more widely, water is cloudy and health risks can not be underestimated or considered minor, so this item should be considered for municipal technicians to control the quality of the water. water, without prejudice to the reports and studies required of the concessionaire and the Commonwealth, to detect if the problems are found in the municipal network or the Taibilla network ", concluded Francisco Calderón.
These last two proposals are valued at an investment of 275,000 euros.
