On 7 September 2006 Procurement Unit of the City of Cartagena pulled procurement worth 120,000 euros a file named "" STREET LIGHTING IN THE RURAL AREA PERIN AREA WEST MUNICIPALITY OF CARTAGENA "file OP/06 / 3626.
Cores on which they were acted: COST WHITE (Casas del Pino and Homes Domina) SUMIEDO CORNER / THE CAĂ‘AR (Mill Subiela (Casas de Tejada), Chapel of The Canar, Canar The Spot (El Nene Homes )), TALLANTE (High Houses, (near the Youth Hostel), Collado Pepin, TORRE NICOLAS PEREZ (Barranco del Infierno), Perin (Crossing section known as Main Street and Dark) and Galifa (Gygarpe Homes, Homes Moreno , El Rincon (next to Farm School "The Almendrico") and Los Diaz (partial)
However, for almost one year, the City Council decided to leave without street lighting, that is, dismantling what was the subject of public investment before the Houses of Nene located on the corner Sumiedo in Canar.
The seriousness of this situation is that in that place is operating facility accommodations registered in the Ministry as a tourist accommodation for up to 16 people and it looks like in full summer season, has no street lighting, having also removed from the installation of municipal services.
The owner of the facility has been forced to put at the entrance of your property a complaint of grievance that is suffering, without any explanation.
The PP government team filled his mouth a few years to publish a plan to encourage and support rural tourism in the west of the town of Cartagena, project that was never heard, but after removing street lighting does have spent money and harm rural character hotel facilities is already an excess that we fail to understand and we should not tolerate.
Under this circumstance from SPCT we demand the restoration of public lighting deleted, explaining that this has been the approach taken to remove previously invested.
Also, since our organization we do not think that this municipal action is because the hotel facility is owned by a businessman Cartagena faced in the past with the former Deputy Mayor (Mr. Guillen) and former coordinator of Art (the Ms. Galindo), and therefore we expect a convincing explanation.
Finally urgent need for our town consider the implementation of a comprehensive plan for rural tourism to the west which gets to value this part of our town, and by extension incentives to create jobs and economic activity .
