The Socialist Municipal Group has criticized the lack of transparency on the part of the Government team, the PP, and the lack of interest in the participation of neighbors, with whom it does not count when it comes to projecting works that affect them directly in their daily lives.
This is the case of the rehabilitation of the area of ​​the old Mill of the Gunpowder, in the environs of Aljufía, located between Rincon de Beniscornia and Guadalupe.
The mayors and socialist representatives in these towns and La Nora, wonder why the City Council does not have the meetings when it will intervene in their areas.
"This attitude denotes a great lack of faith in democracy and a greater conviction in the enlightened despotism of the eighteenth century, whose motto was everything for the people but without the people," says PSOE councilor Enrique Ayuso.
"The municipal leaders must have the neighbors, it is they who know the place where they live, it is they who have the needs and it is they who are going to be affected by the works that are carried out," points out Ayuso, who accompanied by the mayors Guadalupe, Sebastián Peñaranda, and Rincón de Beniscornia, Juan José Cano, as well as the socialist vocal of La Ñora Francisco Gil, visited the former Polvora Mill, where excavations have been carried out and a recreation area has been planned with An auditorium.
However, Socialist leaders warn that "we are not against this project but if they had asked the local representatives they would have warned of the existing access problems, without protection fence, and of the deterioration of the ditch that has sections where the Margins have come off. "
Likewise, they denounce the construction of private bridges over this ditch, so it is recalled that the Major ditch has protection based on the urban planning norms of the General Urban Planning Plan, which establishes that the natural channels and their associated vegetation will be maintained, as well Such as ditches and irrigation canals.
Therefore, says Ayuso, "any work of these dimensions needs the permits and licenses of the City and, if it has authorized these bridges is breaking its own rules."
Another of the complaints of socialist leaders is the impact of the project on the environment.
The socialist councilman adds that "we are sure that if we had the residents, any urban intervention would be enriched".
Finally, the Socialist mayor emphasizes that precisely the irrigation system with the network of ditches is the base of the orchard Murcia, so "we can not hold days of exaltation of the orchard, as has happened a few days, while these channels And their environment do not have the maintenance and conservation they need.
