The neighbors of El Portús demand the repair and opening of the west stairway or the construction of a new access to reach the beach from the upper part of this town of the Perín district.
Citizens have learned that in March 2018 registered at the City Council this request warning that this staircase has been closed for more than twelve years because of the danger of collapse, and that the other staircase, the east, is the only access that go up and down the neighbors to reach their homes, "by that same time the coordinator of the Litoral could check on the ground and in the company of the neighborhood representatives these deficiencies and the needs of the area," said the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín which recalls that "much earlier, in 2016, from the Department of Decentralization made sure he planned to improve these pedestrian access from the highest houses of El Portus."
"The response of the City Council has been able to know Citizens, was not classified as a public good and not be in the register on behalf of the City can not intervene, or repair or demolish, or anything," said Manuel Padín who does not understand how "to this answer, immediately, is not accompanied by the possible solution, or the start of the relevant procedures with other administrations if necessary to start a few simple works that would not exceed 6,000 euros, and that have also been Reclaimed again and again by the Neighborhood Council, this political bureaucracy is frustrating and ridiculous. "
Therefore, Cs will take to the next plenary a battery of questions on this particular case and "others where the lack of proper cataloging of public good has prevented repairs and maintenance very requested by the residents of Cartagena," says Padin.
Monte de las Casillas
Citizens remember that the Local Government Board approved a budget modification to finish the consolidation and reinforcement works of the Monte de la Casilla in El Portús, with a budget of 34 thousand euros, the cost of the works that were left over implement the project that began to materialize last October, amounting to about 121 thousand euros, and could not be completed in 2018. The deadline for execution of these works is close to expire reason why Citizen has contacted the president from the Association of Neighbors, Luis Miguel Saura, who has reported that some inclement weather related to strong winds has delayed a bit this work that he expects to be completed in about two weeks.
The project consists of the placement of a high-performance network to prevent rockfall, "an insistent claim by Citizens in the Plenary since 2015."
