Salvador Martínez recalled that the Ministry of Public Works, responsible for security in the highway, in the three roundabouts and access to Los Belones La Manga Club, in 2010 invested about 366,000 euros in installing these points of light to reduce accident

The general coordinator of the Socialist Section of La Manga, Salvador Martínez, has claimed that the 200 streetlights in the fast lane of La Manga (RM-12) and three roundabouts and access to Los Belones remain off La Manga Club for more than three months ago, which has a high risk to road safety.

The social responsibility of the area has expressed surprise "at the passivity of the Ministry of Public Works and Planning in relation to road safety in one of the busiest highways in the region, allowing them to be quite dark all their entrances, roundabouts, bridges and additions from dangerous turn acceleration lanes, all areas that have streetlights but for months, all without service. "

Martinez has also requested an explanation from the Ministry led by Antonio Sevilla because this widespread blackout "highlights the failure of the Road Safety Plan for this area that led to successful completion of 365,998.51 euros investment in 'Installing Public Lighting Carretera de La Manga (RM-12) passing through Los Belones' as well you can read in the information sign, which is useless in the current situation off ".

Salvador Martinez recalled that when in February 2010 the Ministry announced the installation of these new points of light, said the aim was to reduce the risk of accidents at night, when they produce 40% of traffic accidents .

"If, as the Ministry then said the goal was to prevent accidents do not understand how it is that the lamps with 3 months without light and no explanation has been given yet."

Finally, the Socialists have requested the implementation of a streamlined plan streetlights on this road at the entrance to La Manga Club and Los Belones that guarantees before the upcoming holidays the many security vehicles driving this road, mostly tourists, and maintaining them over time.
