From this Monday, November 25, the administrative building of San Miguel del Ayuntamiento Street has a Technical Accessibility Office where information and guidance will be provided to entities, organizations and citizens themselves in order to facilitate the full integration of the people with different abilities from the Department of Social Services.
The opening ceremony, which has been held in the courtyard of the administrative building, has been chaired by the mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, accompanied by the president of the Federation of Murcia Associations of People with Physical and Organic Disabilities (FAMDIF), Carmen Gil , along with the vice mayor, Noelia Arroyo, the second deputy mayor, Manuel Padín, the Councilor for Social Services, Mercedes García, as well as the mayor of the corporation Alejandra Gutiérrez, José López, Jesús Giménez, Alejandra Pérez and Aurelia García.
With the aim of alleviating the social disadvantage and promoting the participation of people with disabilities, this information point will arrive at the San Miguel building that will serve the public two days a week, Monday and Thursday from 10am to 1pm.
The Technical Accessibility Office is based in La Milagrosa, with the coordinator's public attention on Tuesdays from 9am to 2pm, but in addition to providing information on this new point, there will also be information on OMITAS and Citizen Services, as well as on the municipal website and in the five Accessibility Technical Assistance points of the departments of Infrastructure, Urban Planning, Social Services, Local Police and Education.
“Accessibility is not only a necessity for people with disabilities, but for all citizens,†says the mayor in her speech, “for this reason, through different departments, and in direct collaboration with entities of Persons with Disabilities , we launched the First Cartagena Disability Municipal Plan for All â€.
From this office, universal accessibility is promoted in public spaces, in public buildings, in mobility and transport, taking into account the different types of disabilities.
Specifically, it will offer advice on possible subsidies to neighborhood communities for rehabilitation works and execution of works derived from the Building Evaluation Report or to people interested in adapting their housing.
The number and location of parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities in the municipality will also be studied in order to propose the increase and improvements in the location, as well as the collection of complaints in this regard, among other actions.
