-The training states that "Councilman Guillén should stop impeding participation and transparency and regularly call the Mesa del Árbol, as the Plenary urged"
-Now Murcia is calling on the mayor to call to order the councilor in charge of Parks and Gardens, and order to comply with the motions of the plenary session on parks, gardens and urban trees
NOW MURCIA has denounced through a video and several photographs the situation of urban trees and alignment of our municipality, where at this time the pruning of mulberry trees is being carried out.
The municipal training demands greater transparency in the realization of these works, since as it has been claiming since 2015 there is a demonstrated opacity in the management of the municipal green spaces.
Despite the approval more than two years ago in the municipal plenary of the creation of the "Mesa del Arbol", with the vote against the PP, the Ballesta team continues to oppose fulfilling this democratic mandate and to deal transparently with the maintenance and replacement of urban trees and alignment.
Now Murcia has checked in situ as it is subjected to extreme pruning to examples such as mulberry trees, which, one more year, "are being pruned until leaving them in a skeletal situation, thus depriving all Murcians of enjoying the autumn colors even when their branches are they find leaves in good condition. "
The municipal group claims that "ecological criteria that are being imposed in other cities around us, taking better care of the trees and avoiding diseases, falls and deaths of copies, which unfortunately recur throughout the municipality."
Complicit Mayor
Now Murcia has urged the mayor Ballesta to, since he likes to talk about both citizen participation and open government, exercise its functions and fulfill the mandate of the Plenary, forcing Councilman Guillen to call once and for all the Table of the Tree and giving account of everything that was required by the other municipal groups 2 years ago, through the motion of this municipal group.
The municipal training will also demand that the government team "treat the urban trees in a more appropriate way, without drastic prunings that weaken the specimens, and value more environmental and ecological criteria than the speed in cleaning or cutting human resources "
