| The regulation adds the protection of the midday strip against the music of street vendors | The Urban Planning Commission, which was held this Monday, December 14 under the presidency of the mayor, Ana Bel n Castej n, has ruled favorably on the Noise Ordinance adding seven allegations to the 176 incorporated during the consultation public and after having been subjected to a second period of allegations in whose study a panel of experts from the UPCT participated. “In the period of public information 12 people and organizations have presented a total of 161 allegations that, for the most part, are reiterations of suggestions that were not incorporated in the previous period of public consultation, processing in which 176 complaints and suggestions were already fully or partially accepted.

After their study, seven other allegations have been fully and partially estimated ”, explained the mayor. "Among the estimates is the one presented by Hostecar so that the reduction of sanctions for offenders is extended from 20 to 30%," explained the mayor, Ana Bel n Castej n. In addition, a new wording has been added to the chapter that talks about the duties of the owners of hospitality establishments, in which it was said that they would be "responsible" for the uses that their clients make of the facilities in terms of noise. The new text now clarifies that it is among their duties to ensure that customers do not generate noise and that they can count on the assistance of the police to achieve this. Among the allegations proposed by the Cartagena No Noise Association, several have been accepted by which the time slot between 2 p.m.

and 5 p.m.

will be protected against noise, so that between those hours the street markets will not be able to n make use of music and ambulant musicians cannot play instruments either, which, according to the new ordinance, can only perform in squares and must do so without percussion or amplification elements. The provision has also been included for the rehearsals of music bands, carnival groups or Easter groups to be carried out in closed spaces or in places assigned by the City Council to guarantee distance and reduce their noise impact. CHIRINGUITOS “During the processing of the ordinance, we went to the demarcation of Coasts to request a report on the realization of live performances in the chiringuitos with the intention of foreseeing their inclusion in the normative text, but Costas has reported that the performance of concerts and live performances is not authorized, ”stated the Councilor for the Environment, Cristina Mora. In response to a proposal from Repsol and the Escombreras Valley Business Association, the wording of an article on noise control in natural areas has been modified, clarifying that the City Council will be a collaborator of the management General of the Natural Environment in the control of reference sound values. The normative text establishes that the Cartagena Noise Map will be carried out within one year from the end of the hospitality limitations imposed by the health authority as a result of the pandemic.

In this way it is intended to guarantee the rigor of the acoustic measurements that should be used for decision making regarding noise.

Despite the health situation, the calendar of events is practically finished. "The calendar offers a global vision of the street activity programming, information that will allow the hotel business to organize its services in advance and facilitate the distribution of events so that they generate less noise impact and greater benefits for the hospitality industry ”, explained Cristina Mora. The ordinance includes a list of acts that, by their nature, can benefit from the suspension of acoustic quality criteria. These are events organized by the City Council or with municipal participation that have consolidated dates and physical space, such as the Christmas, Carnival, Easter, Carthaginian and Roman festivities, the patron saint festivities and the La Mar de M festival.

sicas.

The Council will process each year the suspension of criteria for them.

This list can be expanded at the request of the organizers for other events that, after approval by the Governing Board, will have the same processing as those provided for in the ordinance. The ordinance incorporates all the new features of the Spanish legislation since the approval of the previous one, in 2003.
