-For the municipal group, the connection project between Zeneta and Santomera through a new highway can not be made against the neighbors and devastating the Huerta de Murcia, but must start from an updated assessment, and any action must be respectful and integrated in the territory and the landscape

NOW MURCIA has had access to the municipal report of the technical services of the City of Murcia that question the validity of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) of the connection project between Zeneta and Santomera, known as the Bancal highway.

The municipal group required the Department of Urban Planning, during the period of public exposure of the layout update, the City Council presented the corresponding allegations, having known a letter that the Ministry of Development had sent to the mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, requesting the municipal assessment of the project.

The municipal training emphasizes that "the reports of the municipal technicians are very clear, and highlight the loss of validity of the 'DAY' of the highway project, which has been outdated, since infrastructure can not be made on the basis of urban and population calculations that have been shown to be unsuccessful ".

For Now Murcia, this highway project, known as the Bancal highway, "can not be built against the residents of the East of the Murcia valley, destroying the Huerta and creating another great territorial fracture", but "must start from an updated assessment of the population and the reality of the area, "as well as that" any action must be respectful with the territory and must be integrated into the landscape. "

The councilor Angeles Micol affirms that for Now Murcia "the best option for the highway of the Bancal is not that it is made better, but that it is not done, since it is an unnecessary infrastructure, a project for the urbanistic speculation of a few and that will wipe out the territory".

For Micol, "it is an infrastructure to give way to the failed projects of resort tourism and golf courses in the Murcia countryside, despite knowing that this model has been obsolete and that it is not possible to resuscitate it by a lot of motorway that is open. "

From Now Murcia is understood that the best alternative is to connect the existing section that ends in the terrace and comes from the Mar Menor with the North Coast, to give continuity to the West, and to unfold the road to Santomera for continuity northward.

"With these two actions," says the councilor, "the same areas would be communicated through the Bancal highway, but without the need to create a costly, harmful and unnecessary new infrastructure."

Regarding the report of the City of Murcia, emphasizes that "15 years have passed since the approval of the DIA, therefore it is outdated and obsolete, in addition to not considering the changes to the layout that has been made in recent years and that is necessary evaluate environmentally, and more considering that it affects 'habitats of community interest' and livestock trails.
