- The orange training claimed it in the June plenary session, "if the PSOE does not want to do it for the safety of the drivers and cyclists of Cartagena, I hope it will do so on the occasion of this great sporting event nationally and internationally, and if not is capable, we believe that the most responsible thing is to warn the organizers of the proof of the danger that exists in this street so that extreme precautions are taken or the layout of the stage is modified, "the orange mayor, Ana Rama, requested today.
Citizens today demanded the Government of the PSOE to correct the situation of the elements of separation and security not approved that are located along a hundred meters from the median of Sebastian Feringán street at the height of the Hospital Perpetuo Socorro, before arrive at the stage number 6 of the cyclist tour to Spain whose itinerary goes through this section and will be held next Thursday.
The mayor of the orange formation, Ana Rama, made this request through a plea in plenary last June, "these long yellow cylinders are sunken, cracked, rusted, and some have been bent at their ends into the lane in a very dangerous way for road users ".
Two months after denouncing this risk situation, the Government of Cartagena has not undertaken any work to adapt the area, "if it does not do it for the safety of the drivers and cyclists of Cartagena, I hope that it does so on the occasion of this great event sports nationally and internationally, and if it is not capable, we believe that the most responsible thing is to warn the organizers of the danger test that exists in this street so that extreme precautions or modify the layout of the stage " , explained the orange mayor, Ana Rama.
During the June plenary session, the mayor requested that the replacement of these elements be undertaken as soon as possible by a more adequate, functional and healthy system, such as the placement of trees, or in its absence another type of approved device that fulfills its function , do not be dangerous and insert well in the space from the aesthetic point of view, "I remember that Mrs. Castejón asked me not to worry because she took good note of our request, but it must have been misplaced".
"This section is municipal responsibility, and we can not longer allow something that is an obvious danger to road traffic to be maintained, especially for two-wheelers in the event of an accident," says Rama.
Urban Park promised in 2016
On the other hand, Citizens recalls that exactly two years ago, the former mayor of Cartagena, José López, announced the start of the construction of an urban park located on a municipal plot, currently unused, between the streets of Ciclamen and Perońino and the road of Tentegorra, next to the Palace of Sports of Cartagena, "announced that there would be a lake, breakwater and a picnic area, a meeting point with nature with microclimate for Cartagena," they said at the time, says Ana Rama.
The works began with the general conditioning of the land and stones from the breakwaters removed from Los Urrutias were used to do so, and the placing and commissioning of one of the kiosks that were uninstalled in the Port esplanade was also announced.
"Not one thing, not another, or nothing, the esplanade is a site with the skeleton of a kiosk and a pond with stagnant water, something that almost looks like a tribute or symbol that represents very well hollow policies of MC and PSOE since 2015" , regrets the councilwoman.
On September 1, 2016 the Government of MC and PSOE announced that the contract would be put out to tender "soon" with a starting price of 241,000 euros.
"If you do not give explanations before, we will bring a battery of questions to the September plenary session," says Rama.
Road Safety Plan, with financing but not running
The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena denounced this weekend that the local PSOE Executive is still not carrying out its obligation to design a road safety plan and visibility in pedestrian crossings and dangerous crossings despite having enough to do it .
The orange training recalled that thanks to the agreement reached in September 2017, the budget for the preservation and maintenance of vertical signage and road marking was increased from 78,500 euros in 2017 to 373,000 euros in 2018, almost 500 % "but we are not seeing that this significant increase in the budget has meant an increase in work, and far from it, that the order of the actions has been prioritized according to the danger as we requested in the September motion" , has indicated Manuel Padín.
The orange spokesman has reported that "every day, we receive citizen complaints in the Municipal Group about areas near schools, medical centers, parks or courts, where pedestrian crossing is not visible or directly does not exist, and we know that these deficiencies are even greater when you enter neighborhoods such as San Antón or San Ginés, and in the councils, whose neighborhood councils can not meet all needs with their economic reserve depleted.
