The municipal training highlights that "it is surprising the treatment of the Department of Urban Planning in this case, where years pass from the inspection of technicians until the disciplinary proceedings for lack of activity license in eight buildings of the campus of the Jerónimos" , while other citizens are closed their business at the same time that the lack of license is detected
Murcia now points out that the campus of the UCAM can not be open to the public if it has not been granted the corresponding activity license, necessary in any business, company, or activity of any kind.
The municipal training requests the agreement of the suspension of the activity and the precautionary precinct of the buildings of the campus that do not have the activity license, not hesitating to request, if necessary, the intervention of the municipal police to execute the corresponding seal of the installations without a license.
The municipal group Now Murcia in the Consistory of the capital requests the Town Planning Councilor and the mayor Ballesta the immediate cessation of the activity of the UCAM in the Campus of Los Jerónimos in Guadalupe, having known the Decree dated April 16, 2018 Councilman of Urbanism, where it is recognized that the UCAM lacks the corresponding activity license for eight buildings: aulario VII and IX, cafeteria, maintenance building, laboratory, bookstore copistería, head of studies and the center A / A.
From Murcia now point out that it is a construction where they are developing some activities that are not licensed for it, and where it is impossible to obtain it because it is undeveloped land.
The suspension of the activity and its precinct should therefore be agreed as a precautionary measure, because the safety of the many people who use these buildings on a daily basis would also be at risk.
This is because it lacks the necessary official verifications and guarantees to have a business open to the public, such as reports of firemen, fires, etc.
Of the same form the municipal group indicates that it is not understood how this university campus can be open to the public, that counts on thousands of students and hundreds of professors daily working and studying in facilities that, according to the City council of Murcia, lack the corresponding activity license, license necessary to exercise the activity of any business.
In the same sense, Murcia now ask how it is possible that these buildings in this illegal situation have the urban services that they enjoy today, such as waste management, electricity, sanitation, water, etc.
For the municipal training is surprising "the step of turtle" demonstrated by the Department of Urban Planning in this case, since several years ago were carried out urban inspections on the campus of the Jerónimos, so it should have acted with greater diligence and have initiated this disciplinary proceedings at that time.
Likewise, it shows the difference with other business cases that the City of Murcia sealed and closed at the same time in which it detects the lack of activity license.
Now Murcia has already informed the Office of the Prosecutor in December 2015 that a large part of the buildings on the UCAM campus had been built without the corresponding municipal building license, and without the reports of the General Directorate of Cultural Assets BIC environment of the Jerónimos Monastery, therefore the aforementioned buildings would be illegal.
Given this, the Court of Instruction number 5 opened preliminary proceedings in April 2016, where these facts are being investigated to this day.
The municipal group also wonders how it has been possible that during recent years and having passed through this campus numerous officials and senior officials of the City of Murcia and the CARM, as well as the Town Planning Councilor himself, no one has spoken on This situation until the decree of April 16, all forced before the administrative and judicial pressure that Now Murcia is exercising since entering the Consistory in 2015.
It is surprising for Now Murcia the delay of more than two years, as well as the need for a large number of complaints, writings and communications for the City of Murcia to initiate actions on the matter of the UCAM.
Something that clashes with the practice and the speed with which the Consistory acts in identical cases in front of small businesses or activities.
Finally, now Murcia will not hesitate to request the intervention of the Municipal Police to ensure compliance with current legislation, and to seal the activities in the UCAM that do not have the corresponding activity licenses, all this as the City Council does with the rest of the premises and activities in the municipality that do not have the corresponding licenses, and to safeguard the security of the general public.
