| Councilor Carmen Fructuoso criticizes that the responsible councilor has not yet visited this park since he took office, and yet , "the mayor is this morning inaugurating a private ITV right there" | The Municipal Socialist Group will defend in the plenary session tomorrow a motion to expedite the works committed in the West industrial estate, where more than a thousand companies are located and there is a risk of more business escaping because they do not undertake the necessary improvements, according to the socialist councilor Carmen Fructuoso. In this regard, he points out that, after a meeting with members of the Asociación de Empresarios del Parque Industrial Oeste Murcia (ASEPIO), "we verified the numerous and great shortcomings of this facility, not only in terms of lack of containers or cleaning, but also of expansion of plots and, above all, an investment plan to remodel the garden and install playground equipment and gymnastic equipment, to fix the median of the main avenue and enable it for parking areas; replace pavement in the main roads, repair roads and sidewalks and rehabilitate the main entrance ". The councilor recalls that in the 2019 Budgets, "with which the City Council continues to work because the Government team has neither presented nor approved those of 2020, improvements were made to the Polygon that, like almost everything, has not been executed.

they were part of the budget agreement between PP and Cs, but neither of the two formations has complied.

" For this reason, she understands "the discomfort of businessmen and their fear that many businesses will continue to move into other nearby industrial estates, which have the support of their municipalities, such as those of Alhama or Molina." Fructuoso also declares that among the City Council's active policies are the creation of employment and the consolidation of companies, which at this time would be very useful to us due to the crisis unleashed by the coronavirus pandemic, so the municipal government should make the determination to support this large polygon.

" However, "what we find is that while the businessmen observe the deterioration of this industrial park and demand aid, the mayor is this morning inaugurating a private ITV in the polygon.

In addition, the responsible councilor has not yet visited it since he took office, which is a clear sign of the municipal government's null interest in preserving these facilities.

" Likewise, the councilor points out that "this abandonment has the consequence that the entrepreneurs themselves cannot carry out economic and business initiatives" and also that revaluing this polygon from the City Council "could lead to becoming an Excellent Industrial Municipality". The Industrial Park began its journey in 1974, being a business and economic benchmark not only at the regional level but also at the national level, and today it is the area of ??the municipality where there are the highest concentration of companies, approximately 1,200 companies, which generate between 12,000- 14,000 jobs.
