- In spite of the neighborhood demonstration that took place in June 2017 to demand the restoration of the original signage and the circulation of Dalia Street, and despite a plenary agreement promoted by the Citizens Group, the City Council has not yet initiated the works to restore the conditions of this way

- Given the request of the residents to enable parking on abandoned lots, Citizens recalls that the Plenary supported his proposal to undertake a plan to get the temporary transfer of certain land to suit them, "but they remain idle

Cartagena, Friday, February 8.

On the occasion of the complaints filed today by the newspaper La Verdad in the Barrio de la Concepción, the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, recalled that his group has been demanding a solution for this population since mid-2017, "of the historical projects to pedestrianize the center of the neighborhood and the creation of a Day Center for seniors we no longer speak, "says the spokesman.

Regarding the restoration of the original signage and the circulation of Dalia Street, Ciudadanos recalls that in June 2017 it managed to carry out a plenary agreement in this regard but the City Council has not yet begun work to restore the conditions of this artery, " the contempt for plenary agreements is brutal. "

At the request of residents to enable parking on abandoned lots, Citizens recalls that the House endorsed his proposal in November 2018 to undertake a plan to get the temporary transfer of certain unbuilt land to suit them, "but they are still on their arms. crossed, it is desperate, "laments Padin.

Other of the most pressing needs have to do with the deficiencies in terms of accessibility and leveling in the streets Azucena, Tulipanes and other streets of the neighborhood, "the accessibility plan for which we have been fighting for years continues in deadlock, among others things, because we have not updated a plan that is more than a decade old "despite the fact that an amendment of our Group reserved the necessary money to do it", says Manuel Padín who also recalls that "the PSOE has not been able to create the Office Accessibility Technique that is the organ that must coordinate and prioritize the works ".

The lack of signage to warn of the danger of detachment on Molina Street and Cross, the lack of lighting from Muro Street to the pedestrian walkway, or the need to change the roofs of the school's uralita and the neighborhood auditorium, or to condition the accesses from the Puente del Cartagonova to the vicinity of the neighborhood, are other historical claims that again and again fall on deaf ears.

According to the local spokesman for Citizens, "neither the neighborhood demonstrations, nor the plenary agreements, nor the media pressure seem to be enough for the City Council to react and assume its responsibility to meet the needs and collaborate with the residents of the Concepción to live in decent conditions. "

For Manuel Padín, "this authentic neighborhood adjacent to the historic center of the city deserves another deal, they have exactly the same claims and needs as they had in 2015, and in Ciudadanos we are losing patience, so we are going to ask that the next budgets and charge to the surplus will be taken care of the claims of our neighborhoods and councils, and that this time, the Conception is included ", has informed Manuel Padín.

Recovery plan

On the other hand, the spokesman of Cs Cartagena believes that "the Barrio de la Concepción also deserves a specific plan for recovery and repopulation, which in our opinion goes through an ambitious project that includes tax aid for young people who are looking to acquire or rent a housing and the construction of a parking lot that allows pedestrianization of the center, as neighbors demand ".

Manuel Padín has informed that his Group, before the inaction of the City council, is already analyzing a plan of shock to reactivate the neighborhood to propose it, if it is necessary, in an ordinary Plenary.

Municipal Nursery

Ciudadanos has returned to denounce the abandonment situation and the danger posed by the pruning remains, and the rust that accumulates in part of the municipal nursery of the Barrio de la Concepción.

This nursery is located between the neighborhood of La Concepción and the Rambla de Benipila, in the heart of the port city.

It was initially managed by the former ICONA, later passed into the hands of the Autonomous Community and the City of Cartagena "who has to take action on the matter and clear the area before we have to suffer some misfortune."
