The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena today received in its dependencies of the Consistorial Palace to the Association SiR-CT, Sin Noise in Cartagena.
The city councilors, Manuel Padín and Ana Rama, have met with several members of this association, including its president, José Galindo, and the president of the Federation of Neighbors of Cartagena, Cristina Roca, and have collected their complaints before The lack of interest and political will on the part of the current Government and the previous one to protect the citizens against the excess of noise, especially, those that inhabit the Old Quarter of the city.
The president of Sir-CT has transferred to the ediles of the orange formation the helplessness they feel not to have been heeded their claims and their allegations to the Noise Plan, recently approved in Government Board;
On the other hand it has denounced the lack of technical personnel so that the necessary acoustic inspections can be carried out.
José Galindo has ruled with the Municipal Group of Citizens the three main sources of excessive noise that they suffer and prevents them from developing their right to rest: nightlife, proliferation and uncontrol in popular festivals and street cleaning.
As for the nightlife, Galindo has ensured that it is necessary to update the ordinances or at least, that there is more police presence on foot and more means to ensure compliance with regulations related to noise.
On popular festivals, according to Sir-CT, ​​these types of events have been uncontrollably increased, they have become permanent, without sound limiters, and are always performed inside the Historic Quarter, when they could be performed in other remote areas Of population nuclei or in enclosed spaces.
On cleaning in the public street they ask for the gradual replacement of the present machinery, obsolete and very noisy, for another that less acoustically contaminates, and radically modify the schedules.
From this Association they consider that in the last two years the situation has become unbearable and that to follow this way there will be a very sharp decrease of population in the Historic Quarter, and they fear the negative effect on the cruisers who visit us every year, many of them They elderly and retired people, who want to discover Cartagena in a quiet way.
Citizen spokesman in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has collected all the complaints of this group, "is a complex problem, we know, but we want the solutions to be agreed, there is unity of criteria between those who govern, hoteliers, Neighbors, and promote coexistence between them so that we can protect and care for this jewel on the shores of the Mediterranean that is our historic center "
Manuel Padin understands perfectly what is happening to these neighbors, "with this administration so divided it is very difficult that they are able to offer quick solutions, and that generates a lot of frustration".
"Once we have listened to your requests, we will be very much on top of the Action Plan against Noise, which was finally approved this month in the Government Board and we only know the diagnosis that has been made, but we fear that it has been Prepared with haste and there is no specific timetable for implementing medium- and long-term solutions, "explained Citizen spokesman Manuel Padín, who has announced that his group will present at the June plenary several initiatives to force the Government to specify what Measures it intends to undertake this year and those who come to watch over the rest of the neighbors, "that is, what plans has the Government of Cartagena to implement its Noise Plan, in case there is no response, we are ready to work to incorporate In it some of the proposals that have been transferred to us by the Sir-Ct Association.
