The Socialist Group has taken the issue to plenary on several occasions but have abided by the agreements reached, including the unanimous support of the Plenum of October 2013 a Socialist motion to undo the piping of the ditch and repair landslides
The Municipal Socialist Group has called on numerous occasions over the years that problems with Major Barriers ditch up to the Canal de Torres, between the districts of Aljucer, San Gines and Era Alta are solved.
A situation that, by the neglect of the PP government in La Glorieta, had become dangerous for the houses along the canal due to landslides that problems had worsened year after year.
In October 2013 and April 2014 two motions tabled by the Socialist Group urging the Board of Landowners to redo the work to return the canal to its former state were approved in full council, as the tubing installed drained directly into one of the walls, eroding.
If it were not so, the City must perform these works in the alternative and repair caused landslides.
But the years have passed and, so far, the state of the canal continued to deteriorate without means were put to stop it.
"We visited again the area in November 2015 and found as landslides had worsened and there was a real danger that the houses on the canal eventually suffer problems in their structures and that the road that runs along the banks give way too," has socialist councilor explained Enrique Ayuso, who recalled that the PSOE had an impact then, once again, the need to fix the problem immediately.
"Finally, after years of denouncing this situation in the media and municipal Plenum bring the issue, it has begun to fix the irrigation ditch, tabicando again the detached areas and embellishing important part of our heritage," Ayuso has indicated , who has visited the settlement works accompanied by the mayor of Aljucer, Ainhoa ​​Sanchez, and the mayor of San Gines, Jesus Pintado.
"Let it be agreed in plenary is always good news, although it should be as usual," said the mayor of the PSOE, who lamented that "have to spend years and has to be a pressure and a continuous denunciation of the theme for that decisions are taken almost in extremis, with the walls of the ditch on the verge of collapse. "
"We are pleased that the work of the Socialist Group is having an impact on the management of the City of Murcia. The lack of an absolute majority of the PP is forcing Ballesta to listen to the opposition and act to pressure," he concluded.
