MC Cartagena will present several proposals to the next Assembly of the Neighborhood Board of Isla Plana La Azohía for the improvement and adaptation of the environment of the Isla de Plana Water Cave, the creation of a consortium that encompasses Isla Plana and Perín, besides being interested in the existing deficiencies in terms of general services in the core of San Ginés de La Azohía.
Cave of Water of Isla Plana
Due to the latest events in Thailand, the MC member, Pedro Celdrán, recalled that "the Cave of Water, located on Isla Plana, is known by resientes, tourists and diving professionals, assuming a good tourist attraction for Isla Plana and its west coast. "
However, he added that "the tragic events that have occurred and that we all remember is due to the fact that there is not a good methodical compliance with norms for the development of this type of underwater activities".
The Cave of Water contains 2.5 Kilometers in length with a maze of limestone galleries, some of them, with 20 meters deep and deposits of silt in their bottoms that in any sudden movement causes their waters to become muddy.
Its temperatures oscillate between 20 and 30 degrees, being in an area of ​​hot springs connected underground.
This situation, as highlighted by Celdrán, makes it convenient to transfer to the competent administrations the need to reinforce the security protocol, with more information and visualization of signage with description of its characteristics, uses of its activities or notices of the beginning of activities at centers of coordination of emergencies and security, and also adapt its location with cleaning, fencing of protection space with coexisting material or lighting.
Therefore, the Plenary of the Neighborhood Board will be requested to urge the City Council to be the coordinator of the meeting and of the future work table, giving a transfer to the different competent administrations in sports matters such as the Sports General Directorate of the CARM , the Department of Sports of the City of Cartagena, the federations of Underwater Activities and Speleology and the Special Group of Underwater Activities of the Civil Guard, to carry out a close collaboration for the implementation of formal measures of use and sports activities and improvement and adaptation of the environment of the "Cueva del Agua in Isla Plana.
Finally, it will be demanded that, once the proposals by the aforementioned members have been gathered, a material project and measures execution will be elaborated.
Creation of a public entity for the neighborhood councils of Isla Plana and Perín
Similarly, Celdrán has called attention to the fact that the populations of this Neighborhood Board, Isla Plana, La Azohía and Campillo de Adentro, are framed in the Diputación de Perín.
This delegation shares the neighborhood councils of Isla Plana and Perín, encompassing the first coastal populations and the second inland.
According to Pedro Celdrán, "both have special characteristics due to their location and specific characteristics for their development, which are not taken care of properly and as their territory and population deserve."
This, despite the fact that Campillo and Cabo Tiñoso are within the Plan for the Regulation of Natural Resources (PORN).
The vocal of the formation Cartagena has also reported that "approximately 35% of the coast of Cartagena belongs to its west, from Cabo Tiñoso to the Rambla de Valdelentisco, which makes this place an area of ​​great value for its wonderful beaches and environment full of important natural, cultural and historical resources ".
In spite of this, the PORN has yet to be developed and the value of those nuclei that make it up and the supply of drinking water for the Campillo de Adentro is still to be developed.
In addition, there are other needs such as the recovery of shore batteries, barracks, thermal baths or hiking trails.
This special context makes, in the opinion of MC, that it is necessary to create an administrative entity that has the representation of the entities that decide for the development and future of this Cartagena deputation, for which it will be demanded that the Plenary of the Neighborhood Board the municipal government to initiate the administrative file so that, with the other administrations, a project of public law entity with its own legal personality, participation and integration of other administrations and the public sector is developed, in what represents a formula known as the current consortiums.
Deficiencies of general services in the population center of San Ginés de La Azohía
Pedro Celdrán has highlighted, among the main deficiencies existing in San Ginés de La Azohía the lack of lighting, signaling, as well as irregularities that have some stretches of pavement in roads.
Also, has indicated, "we can visually perceive the existence of aerial wiring between electric poles with heads of old luminaires of low performance, high consumption and high economic cost", to which must be added "the deterioration and lack of any safety signaling road and some stretch of deteriorated firm ".
Faced with this situation, the member of MC will ask the chair of the Board if he has made any arrangements with the City Council to carry out any investment in San Ginés;
if you plan to transfer the neighborhood needs of San Ginés to the councilor responsible for the area, Juan Pedro Torralba, and commit him to mark a calendar of actions;
If the lack of investment in the area is due to the PSOE understands that it will not obtain any political electoral revenue, as well as if the presidency plans to carry some type of investment in San Ginés in charge of the budgets of the Board.
