- Citizens made this request after collecting the complaint from many neighbors through social networks that ensured that police vehicles that sometimes block access to the center had generated delays Medical Emergency Units (EMU) and firefighters, "we even carry this issue to the Plenary but then the PSOE Government denied the facts, now it seems that what was denied in public was admitted in private and to those responsible for our safety and our emergencies in the municipality "
Cartagena, Tuesday, January 8.
Citizens thanked today that the Government of Cartagena has collected and executed the proposal that launched the orange training repeatedly, the last in April 2018, for the Local Safety Board to analyze the result of the installation of deterrents such as bollards, barriers, flowerpots and police cars in places of great affluence of public and so that the possibility of installing or activating retractable bollards in some accesses to pedestrian zones of the city was debated.
Cs made this request after collecting the complaint from many neighbors through social networks that ensured that the police vehicles that sometimes block access to the center have generated delays Medical Emergency Units (EMU) and firefighters, "we even take this matter to the Plenary, but then the PSOE Government denied the facts and limited itself to saying that alternative itineraries existed, now it seems from what was published in La Verdad that what was denied in public was admitted in private and to those responsible for our security and our emergencies in the town".
Manuel Padín explained that "as it was a very sensitive issue, we requested that an extraordinary Local Safety Board be convened, so that the entire system of protection and control of access to the pedestrian areas of the center with all the groups involved was evaluated. , and agreements will be reached to guarantee and make security compatible with the health of citizens, the PSOE preferred to wait and it was done in an ordinary meeting, it seems a slow reaction but we are glad that finally we have recognized what we have denounced and put to work to solve it. "
"In Ciudadanos we believe it is desirable and necessary to install more mobile bollards after a technical study of the Local Police and other security bodies, we think the announcement of activating only the few that were installed in 2007, for example, in the mouth of the main street from the Plaza del Ayuntamiento there is none and often placed police cars crossed, in addition, you must place others in the new areas of pedestrianization planned after a broad political consensus, "says Manuel Padin who says that with this measure "we managed to free the police vehicles and vans to carry out other services, we managed to establish a permanent security measure and not only for certain dates or for the massive arrival of cruise passengers, and we avoided that the emergency services, firefighters, taxi drivers, vehicles of distribution and residents can access their restricted areas with their vehicles with the use of a simple device to act
