The mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, has reached an agreement with the Temporary Union of Companies of Dragados and Emurtel, in charge of the construction of the Palace of Sports, to correct the deficiencies that this infrastructure presents, especially in the central court.
At the meeting, which took place on Thursday, April 12, has attended the Councilor for Public Services, Juan Pedro Torralba, along with management staff and municipal technicians.
On the part of the Temporary Union of Companies of Dragados and Emurtel, were Ignacio Garcia, CEO of Levante and the Balearic Islands;
Juan José Hernández Nieto, head of the Building Group in Murcia and Juan José Valderas Martínez, legal advisor.
During the meeting the mayor has moved his concern for the deplorable state in which are some of the facilities of the Palace of Sports.
The first mayor, has been "very satisfied" after reaching an agreement by which the company will take care of timely repairs for the improvement of the central court.
The mayor has specified that it was in the previous stage, chaired by Pilar Barreiro, when the works were received, so the current Government had little room for maneuver.
Even so, he has worked to reach the best of agreements "so that citizens can enjoy these municipal facilities as soon as possible".
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SPORTS PALACE
The Palacio de Deportes cost the municipal coffers 21.5 million euros (which meant an extra cost of 63%), and despite that it has serious shortcomings, such as the poor condition of the parquet and the lack of markers.
Ana Belén Castejón and the municipal technicians have analyzed during the last weeks the file and the needs of this infrastructure to present them to the UTE and try to unblock the completion of the work.
The mayor committed in his last visit to the Palace of Sports not only to force a meeting with the UTE to try to unblock the project, but to advance in improving the safety and air conditioning of this infrastructure.
In this sense, the Department of Public Services, directed by Juan Pedro Torralba, has already completed the project to install security arches on the stairs of the central court of the Sports Palace, which is valued at just over 45,000 euros.
Likewise, in March, the General Directorate of Sports was asked for the air conditioning needs and estimated gauges to complete the Air-conditioning Project of the Sports Palace.
The answer was received on April 3 and, the same day, Infrastructure technicians visited the facilities with experts in the field to find the most appropriate solution.
The original project estimates the air conditioning needs at 190,000 euros.
