The mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, together with councilman Marco Antonio Fernández, today offered the balance regarding the management carried out since 2015 in the districts, which has led to the improvement of the quality of life and public services enjoyed by their neighbors .

The reactivation of the social and cultural life of the districts has also been possible due to the investments made in the centers for the elderly, women and cultural centers.

Another line of work has been the construction of public works to improve accessibility and road safety.

Increase the safety of people is also enhanced with adequate public lighting and, for this, the City has developed 156 projects that have allowed to install a total of 926 new points of light.
