- Citizen spokesman in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, maintains that "despite the fact that most farm owners do comply with various regulations and laws, a few impose their personal interests irresponsibly on the safety of our roads and that is something that Citizens are not willing to allow. "
The Municipal Citizen Group of Cartagena has denounced today that the bad practices of some landowners cause that several sections of the roads of the municipal term are flooded regularly during the rainy days.
The orange formation has been able to see how, for example, the margins of the extension of Velázquez street in El Algar have been invaded by the land of the farms around which eliminates the water escape routes, and reduce drainage capacity .
Moreover, in this area, the land rises considerably above the level of the road in an irregular manner which causes the logical stagnation of the waters in some sections which is an obvious danger for traffic, especially at night.
Citizens are aware that this situation has already been reported by individuals to the City of Cartagena through the Municipal Registry, but no action has been established to resolve the problem.
The same happens in some points of the cartagenera deputation of Pozo Estrecho, in particular, in some rural roads.
Citizen spokesman in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, maintains that "despite the fact that most of the owners do comply with various regulations and laws, a few impose their personal interests irresponsibly on the safety of roads and that is something which we in Citizens are not willing to allow. "
"We must put order and stop these irregular actions in which we have reached the point that we have worked the spillways and we have even been able to observe how some signs of traffic and cairns have disappeared," said the spokesman of Cs.
Manuel Padín has informed that he will make available to the Government of Cartagena all the information collected, "if it has not been possible to be through the personal complaints of some citizens, I hope that at least they pay attention to us, the doubts about the ownership of these roads can not be an excuse, if it is not municipal, you must investigate the competition and pressure the responsible body to restore the normality of these roads as soon as possible before any misfortune occurs. "
"When the lack of responsibility is combined with the municipal neglect, these problems appear, despite their danger, they have an easy solution, it only takes a bit of political will, and they stop looking the other way," explained Manuel Padín, which has ensured that if in the next few days no one in the Government of Cartagena takes letters in the matter, will raise a motion to the next municipal plenary to force them to do so, "said the spokesman of Cs, who has warned that" in which we can suffer strong temps.
