- The orange training has recalled that since October 2017 there is a plenary agreement promoted by the PP, and supported by CTSSP-Podemos and Ciudadanos (with the vote against PSOE and MC) that requires the local government to design as a matter of urgency an action plan for the Media Legua
Cartagena, Friday, August 3.
The residents of the neighborhood of the Media Legua have lost their patience after a decade of demands to the City Council and the Neighborhood Board of Alumbres to solve some of the innumerable deficiencies that this population has.
The councilor-spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has met with the Neighborhood Association in the local social neighborhood to meet their demands.
"More than a children's playground what they have here is a torture room, if the children are lucky not to suffer a abrasion on the skin by the gravel cover, lose an eye with some of the loose irons of the perimeter fence or get stuck some of the pointed elements that have remained of the structure of a torn paper, could reach a huge opening of the lattice and fall from a height of about 2 meters to the bed of a ravine, "said the spokesman for Citizens who did not explains "how this park has not been closed to the public until it is reformed and the most basic security measures are met, in addition, there is no lighting, it floods when four drops fall, and for parents it is impossible to travel this space because the trees without pruning it prevents it, the most outrageous thing is to know that only a year and a half ago they invested some 7,000 euros here ".
A question of the spokesman of Citizens, the neighborhood president Tońi Morales was unable to remember the last one that saw a child use the children's games.
Cs will send a warning letter to the City Council to act urgently in the park, "there is an obvious risk to minors that must be avoided now."
Other claims have to do with the alleged football field of the Media League, "to call it in some way, because in reality it is only a space of boulders and weeds between two goals, without dividing lines or lighting, or anything," says Manuel Padín.
The asphalting and lighting projects in Vereda street that do not arrive, the abandonment of the few gardens of the neighborhood, the tree-lined cisterns destroyed with loose bricks, are other deficiencies that neighbors have denounced for years without finding an answer from the local Administration .
According to the Association of Neighbors, in the Plenary Assembly of the Neighborhood Council of Alumbres initiatives have been approved since 2016 to deal with most of these problems but they are not executed, and blame directly the socialist president of the Neighborhood Board, Miguel Garrido .
The orange training has recalled that since October 2017 there is a plenary agreement promoted by the PP, and supported by CTSSP-Podemos and Ciudadanos (with the vote against PSOE and MC) that obliged the local government to design as a matter of urgency a plan of action for the Media Legua and that the necessary instructions were given to the municipal areas of cleaning and Parks and Gardens to improve immediately the situation of the parks and gardens of the neighborhood.
Claim activities and workshops
The Association of Neighbors have also transferred to the spokesperson of Citizens the need for the City Council to be involved and help them promote all kinds of activities such as socio-cultural workshops for adults and young people, extracurricular activities for children, courses, screenings, exhibitions ... The few actions that have been carried out have been very specific.
The spokesman of Cs has committed to speak directly with the councilor of Decentralization, Juan Pedro Torralba to find formulas that help this group to invigorate the neighborhood and promote actions that improve the quality of life of its inhabitants.
