From 5 to October 13, begins the second phase of pruning palm leaves 480 that are distributed throughout different areas of the city.
In early September, began the first phase, which took place over the area of the Port of Cartagena, in order to beautify and avoid the falling leaves in the street due to the celebration of the event Audi MedCup.
The work will consist in cleaning and preventive treatment of red weevil pesticides.
It will be recalled this pest appears at this time of year and attacks plants, having a yellowing and wilting of leaves.
The plague first appeared in Europe in 1994, and is native to Southeast Asia.
Palm pruning will be in charge of a company that specializes in this work, from Elche, acting at the following locations:
October 5: the Alameda de San Anton, direction from the Plaza of Spain to the Shield, and Willow Park.
October 6: the Civil Guard barracks and the Casa de la Cultura.
Oct. 7: at Alameda St. Anton in the Plaza of Spain, and the Plaza Juan XXIII.
October 8 at Plaza de San Francisco, Plaza de la Merced and San Diego Atrium.
October 9: Avenida Juan Carlos I, in the Media Room.
13 October: Avenida de America and Cuesta del Batel (in the area of the Plaza de Bastarreche)
During the eight days duration of a job execution, will strengthen the presence of local police officers to regulate traffic and avoid traffic jams as far as possible, especially at rush hour.
