In addition, the councilor explained that the awarding of the draft of the storm interceptor project, which will connect the ramblas of the north with the river Segura and solve the problems of habitual overflows whenever it rains, "was signed last March 15, But was announced yesterday, day 23, so that the mayor could sell it as an achievement of his, when it is not, especially if we take into account that the draft of the project has been awarded approximately a year waiting for the signing of said contract and that the Government Of Zapatero left the previous procedures solved, however, the team of Rajoy put it in a drawer ".

In any case, Hernández emphasizes that, "of course, this work is essential for the northern part of the municipality and that is why we have supported and defended it" and adds that "now we can only hope that this project will not suffer any delays again and that a Once drafted, the works will be taken out as soon as possible.
