The PSOE spokesman at the Municipal Board of Santiago and Zaraiche, José María Herrera, criticizes the "serious damage" that the construction of dissuasive parking lots would entail for the residents of this area, as announced by Mayor Ballesta last week. "On July 23, the Municipal Socialist Group in the Murcia City Council denounced that the mayor of Murcia had informed of the completion of four dissuasive parking lots, three in Santiago and Zaraiche, when this matter was debated in the February plenary session and agreed with the votes of PSOE, Cs and Podemos to paralyze the actions related to the construction of the dissuasive parking lots ...
", recalls Herrera. Likewise, he points out that Zaraiche "is the district with the most growth in the municipality, but after 24 years we continue to be the district without a health center, promised and committed, without a center for medical specialties, so our neighbors go to the specialist in Barrio del Carmen, without public institute, with classrooms of public schools above ratio.
In addition, from time to time we are cut population and budget "and asks" what is the objective of making us disappear as a district? " Likewise, Herrera questions whether it may be fraudulent to change the destination of public plots, which are aimed at the construction of public facilities (study rooms, multipurpose rooms, buildings for neighborhood activities, with spaces for extracurricular activities, for the use of associations of the district, or even new spaces for the Municipal Center and multipurpose classrooms for schools) to modify it for cars.
And it is "an attack on the value of the homes themselves, which were bought with the promise that they would have public facilities nearby and the neighbors will see parking lots built for everyone, which will lead to more cars and more pollution." Also, the socialist spokesman affirms that "hiding after the debate of increasing parking spaces in Zaraiche, is not going to hide the serious problem of Murcia, which is that of not having carried out a mobility and sustainability plan that in 24 years of municipal government " Herrera demands the withdrawal of this initiative by the City Council and "absolute respect for what was approved in the February municipal plenary session."
