The mayor of Cartagena, Jose Lopez, participated yesterday in the sports gathering of Tele Cartagena and FM Gazette in which he discussed various aspects of the city today.
Along with Lopez, he was also present owner of FC Cartagena, Francisco Belmonte, who acknowledged the important support provided by the mayor and the city government since the company took over late last season.
Lopez, who will attend the upcoming match of FC Cartagena - Real Jaen on Sunday October 18 at 18:00, said, in summary, that the City, each time it has received the call of FC Cartagena, has been at your service, outlining that work to promote and help enterprises in the city, county and region can collaborate with the company by advertising.
It is recalled that the Sports Council of Ricardo Segado recently ended the legal gap that existed between the municipality and the Football Club Cartagena, establishing a cooperation agreement between the local government and the sports organization to use the Cartagonova Stadium after years Use of this facility by the club without any regulation.
In addition, campus security costs in the meetings that are held there are borne by the municipal coffers.
The mayor went on to stress that the City is working on everything that is within reach, not to mention the economic constraints we back after a disastrous previous administration which has caused that we are operated until 2022.
Lopez stressed the importance of grassroots sport pointing to the example of Hope EF working in coordination with teachers, trainers and help to know whether children attend school.
The problems that these football schools have taken to society are incalculable.
The mayor said that we are working on the possibility to take the tender to install artificial turf on the football field of the EF Esperanza also work on increasing the number of fields with artificial turf and there are none left school without that surface for children can play sports in the same conditions of dignity.
Regarding the Palacio de los Deportes Lopez said that we are awaiting a technical report in which the shortcomings are detailed, reach agreements with the company and these deficiencies. If they can not fix these problems we will work to open it in parts, this would be linked to 4 or 5 million more and we must see how that investment is made.
Right now the cost of maintenance if opened would be very high, the needs are countless, a ruin in the style of El Batel, a facility of 65 million euros, to which must be added 2.8 million euros a year we give to the company that manages it, plus the cost of electricity, water and maintenance.
That model can not repeat it.
Regarding the Cartagena bowling, local sport, Lopez said as our own, we must strengthen it and bring it to school.
It is important to know where we come from.
