When in February 2010 the Council announced the installation of these new points of light, said the aim was to reduce the risk of accidents during the night, which is when 40% of traffic accidents occur

Citizen of Cartagena (MC) Movement at the next plenary ask the City Council make efforts to replenish the fast track luminaires La Manga (RM-12), as well as the three roundabouts access to Los Belones and La Manga Club, which remain off for years because this widespread blackout highlights failure of the Road Safety Plan for this area which led to a good end investment 365,998.51 euros justifying the investment in 'Installing Public Lighting Road La Manga (RM-12) passing through Los Belones' as well you could read the information sign, which is useless in the current situation "off".

According to Jose Lopez, mayor of MC, "at present and to the shame of our town, more than 200 streetlights installed on the fast track to La Manga (RM-12) as well as the three roundabouts access to Los Belones La Manga Club and remain off for years, which implies a high risk to road safety, allowing them to be quite dark all entrances, roundabouts, bridges and additions from dangerous turn acceleration lanes. All these areas have streetlights but something goes wrong and they are all in a state of `no servicio'".

For Lopez, "when in February 2010 the Council announced the installation of these new points of light, said the aim was to reduce the risk of accidents during the night, which is when 40% of traffic accidents occur. If as the Ministry then said the aim was to "prevent accidents" do not understand how it is possible for years with no streetlights on and that no explanation has been given yet. "

MC known if these lamps belong to the Ministry of Development, Public Works and Planning, or if instead, installed at the entrance to Los roundabouts Belones are municipally owned, also known as competition in maintaining these, but "what we know is not the responsibility that must be exercised by the Municipal Government to safeguard the interests and lives of Cartagena and all who pass through our town, and we believe that although the powers are of an exogenous administration, responsibility remains with the municipality and especially those in power, thus being members of the Government responsible for competence who require care, maintenance and replacement of luminaires described "concludes Councilman MC.
