Ciudadanos has met today with the Association of Neighbors in the neighborhood of La Concepcion to know how much response has had the City of Cartagena in front of the list of needs and deficiencies, about thirty, which the neighbors announced last January and To address the latest complaints regarding the recent reorganization of traffic and parking areas on Dalia Street, one of the main thoroughfares of this neighborhood.

The president of the Association, Juan Garcia, has transferred to the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, his indignation for the treatment received by the Consistory.

According to Padín, "I fully understand the impotence and wastefulness these neighbors have been feeling that have been demanding improvements for their neighborhood for years without anyone from the Government of Cartagena listening and getting to work to carry them out."

Among the main necessities, the neighbors emphasized the necessary pedestrianization of the old part of the neighborhood, the improvement of the lighting of certain streets, the conditioning of the sidewalks and the creation of accesses to improve the mobility of people with disabilities, asphalting and Leveling of the streets, the placement of a marquee in front of the College of the Watchtower, and the need to hire a concierge for the sports court and the social venue, a function performed by one of the members of the Association without any remuneration.

The inhabitants of this neighborhood also recalled one of their historical claims: the construction of a Day Center for the Elderly, "these spaces are vital for the socialization, professional care and entertainment of the elderly, and we know that this neighborhood has a High index of its aging population and probably is one of our neighborhoods that most need a center of these characteristics, "said Manuel Padin.

On the other hand, the sports center is still waiting for the completion of the whole enclosure to be completed (the work has been halted for months), the conditioning of the pavement, new changing rooms, the anchoring of the goal posts and The substitution of baskets.

"This long list of needs is scandalous in one of the most colorful neighborhoods in Cartagena, two years have passed since the PSOE and MC entered the government promising to the right and sinister the transformation and investments in the neighborhoods and councils of Cartagena but has To the contrary, this government that can hardly carry the minimum administrative services of the City Council, prefers to sell the populism easy and govern with declarations and frigid blows in the chest instead of rolling, hearing and solving things ", lamented the Citizen spokesman, Which is committed "to kick every aisle and touch every door of the City Council until, one by one, they are satisfying the neighborhood demands."

The straw that has filled the glass of patience of the neighbors of the neighborhood has been the rearrangement of the traffic and the parking of the street Dalia.

The president of the Association of Neighbors, Juan Garcia, has informed the Citizens' Group that they are preparing a demonstration on the 17th to protest this measure and demand that the street return to its original state and abandonment of the neighborhood.

For Manuel Padín, "it is incomprehensible that the Government of Cartagena has allowed this point to be reached, you do not perform any important action in a neighborhood for two years, deny the claims of the neighbors, and to finish the job you make a decision of this Without consulting the neighbors and without carrying out a previous study of the needs. "

The neighbors of the neighborhood assure that the new sense of the circulation and the new zones of parking in battery of the cars to both sides of the road has made impassable the zone, when they park two vehicles of great dimensions one against another block the way, And also forces many neighbors to have to surround the whole neighborhood to reach their homes.
