Tiles from another era.
The main street of Canteras shows stretches in poor condition and even a good part of the adjacent roads lack slabs.
The Councilor for Infrastructure and Decentralization, Juan Pedro Torralba, promised the end of this unfortunate image of sidewalks but the improvements do not reach the most populated deputation in the west of the municipality.
Different associations of the neighborhood show their indignation to the Cantonal Party of Cartagena since the arrival to the Municipal Government of MC and PSOE the works of improvement and placement of new pavement have completely ceased.
The only action carried out by the City Council consists in the renovation of the paving of a small part of the main street at the entrance of Canteras, in front of the well-known Bar El Popo, which has been standing for four months due to disagreements with the neighbors regarding the conservation or not of the trees.
The new slabs remain stacked in front of everyone and the firmness of earth and cement is dangerous after the introduction of the optical fiber in the subsoil.
The plaster, which has subsidence, crevices and holes, is also barely thirty centimeters wide in some places on Main Street.
Residents have special concern at the height of a language academy.
The students are in serious danger as two individuals can not fit in that section and the cars pass at a considerable speed.
The obvious difficulty for the widening of the road, by the double direction of the road, makes the intervention in the pedestrian part even more urgent.
Another of the unfulfilled promises by the Municipal Government of MC / PSOE and now of the Socialist Party alone lies in the location of a notifications and complaints office of the Local Police that would also act as a deterrent to criminals in a council with an important number of thefts in shops and homes.
The Strategic Plan of the municipal security body 2016-19 also included a detachment with ten agents that from Canteras would cover the surveillance of the entire western area of ​​the municipality.
Neighbors swim in this sense and ask, as always, that the local police appear on the streets as only, very occasionally, passes through the main street a vehicle of the Civil Guard.
