Secretary of Environment of the Municipal Executive Socialist Maria Teresa Cerezo, warns that the criteria specified in the new statement approved by the City Council to hire the services of street cleaning and selective collection from 2011 to perpetuate the inequalities between the center of Murcia and their districts over the next twenty years, which correspond to the period of the concession that just came out to tender.
Cherry explains that although the conditions approved by the PP government team collected an expansion of routes and frequencies of cleaning they also state that the town is barred city daily while on the contrary, in the hamlets the periodicity is twice a week so alternative, combining the manual with the mechanical action, so that the bins are emptied only twice a week, coinciding with the manual scanning with the consequent danger that this situation creates for residents.
Moreover, the environment secretary said that the statement provides that in the districts will conduct a joint sweep every fortnight only contrast to the mechanic manual sweeping daily, except Sundays, set for the city.
Also mixed washdown streets will be three times a week in the town while in the districts will be done only once a fortnight.
The inequalities are also reproduced in the cleaning of the gardens where, says Cherry, a performance is scheduled daily mechanical manually contrast to the frequency set for the green areas of the districts where they do three times a week.
This means that a syringe could stay longer than 24 hours lying in a garden with no one to pick, criticizes Cerezo.
To the Secretary of Environment of the Municipal Executive Team PP government has time to correct one of the major territorial imbalances generated during his years of management and asked not to condemn the inhabitants of the hamlets to live another 20 years with a cleaning service discrimination.
According Cerezo is a historic opportunity and it is the economic contract of the century by up to 1,200 million euros that should be harnessed to do the bigger the gap between the level of services received by citizens of the center of Murcia and their villages.
In this sense, the Environment Secretary recalled that the Municipal Socialist Group proposed more than thirty amendments, many of them aimed to rebalance the cleaning service and trash collection to fill gaps in the specification including the establishment of an eco-park in at least the four corners of the municipality.
Cerezo also demands more sluicing the streets of the villages and expand the number of recycling containers and litter bins outside the village.
