In the specific case of Inacua, the socialists ask the local government, in addition to the sanctions imposed by the lowering of the temperature of the water and other damages in the facilities, to control in a more exhaustive way the municipal service that lends itself to the Users, both in that center and in other municipal facilities
The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Maite Espinosa, has called Wednesday to the government of Ballesta "greater control of sports facilities managed by external companies, especially an analysis of the state of infrastructure and services and, therefore, the degree Of compliance with the contract signed with the concessionaires of the municipal services rendered ".
Espinosa explained that, following the complaints made a few months ago by Inacua users, who lodged numerous complaints about the poor state of the facilities and the cold water, "we now find that the Governing Board has decided to sanction the company We believe that the government of the PP should go further and ensure that both Inacua and the other companies that provide a municipal sports services comply with With the agreement in the specifications, carrying out periodic technical reviews and, in case of breach of contract, demanding the return of the part of the subsidies granted for a municipal service if it has not been rendered in optimal conditions. "
"We wonder what the PP government expects to closely analyze the degree of compliance - or non-compliance - with the contract with the Intersa (La Flota), Murcia (Verdolay), Aqualia (Cabezo de Torres) and Ferrovial Servicios In this last center there is evidence that the installations are not in optimal conditions (detached tiles, rusty pipes, warped lockers, walls with chips, dampness, etc.) Do Ballesta and Councilman Coello think about the welfare of Users of the facilities? ", Insisted Espinosa, who recalled that the Socialist Group defends a remunicipal model of sports services, away from private management and with all the guarantees.
The socialist councilor recalled that municipal sports centers receive millionaire subsidies annually (more than three million euros this year) and that, despite the fact that the operation of the facilities is private, the service provided is public and must be governed by The agreement signed.
"It is clear that the Inacua conditions, as an example, are not ideal and neither is the treatment of users with the deliberate lowering of the water temperature. It is urgent to review the contract of this center and the other facilities to analyze Its compliance taking into account the amount of money from the public coffers that receive these facilities, "he said, remembering that" already in 2014 the town council itself asked the concessionary companies to reduce expenses since the City of Murcia had paid 7.2 Millions more than expected in subsidies to these centers.
