- The municipal formation will take a motion to the Plenary so that the City Council agrees with the Hacienda Board that it carries out the immediate reconstruction to which it is obliged and, in case of not reaching a firm commitment of the Board, that the Consistory undertakes the rehabilitation, as it corresponds in a subsidiary way by law, "detracting the cost of the large subsidies that the City Council provides each year to the Board of Landowners, 140 thousand euros in 2017"
NOW MURCIA demands the reconstruction pending of the Old Mill or Mill of Oliver, in Aljucer, 10 years after its illegal demolition on the part of the Board of Landowners and 7 and a half years later of the sanction that ordered to this organism its reconstruction.
Councilor Alicia Morales emphasizes that "the neglect of the Popular Party with the patrimony of our municipality is so great that not only impassible allows its deterioration, but not even worry about the administrative sanctions that order its rehabilitation materialize."
The municipal training will take a motion to the Plenary on Thursday so that the City Council agrees with the Board of Landowners that it carries out the immediate reconstruction to which it is obliged and, in case of not reaching a firm commitment of the Board, that the Consistory undertakes the rehabilitation, as it corresponds in a subsidiary way by law, "detracting the cost of the large subsidies that the City Council contributes each year to the Board of Landowners, 140 thousand euros in 2017."
The spokeswoman of Now Murcia and the vocal of the formation in Aljucer, Pedro Jesus Fernandez, today visited this important patrimonial element to corroborate his state, remembering that it is "a historical construction, of the XVIII century, that is part of the patrimonial set linked to the Hydraulic Network of the Huerta de Murcia ".
On January 2 and 3 of 2008, the Farmers Board executed the demolition of the Old Mill in Aljucer.
The Urban Inspection of the extinct Urban Management Department raised a breach on the same January 3, 2008, by the demolition of the Mill, the partial destruction of its historic drains and the pipelining of the annex of the Acequia Mayor de Barreras, in addition to the disappearance of a stretch of masonry wall.
Urban Inspection affirmed that the acts did not fulfill the norms of the General Plan of Urban Ordination nor the Municipal Ordinance on Edification and Use of the Land, and indicated the obligation by the Law of the Land of the Region of Murcia of the "reconstruction of demolished".
Alicia Morales stresses that at the time "a citizen movement took place in defense of Oliver's Mill that was important but that unfortunately did not assist in its reconstruction, so now Murcia is trying to finally achieve justice and rebuild this historic mill. "
Board of Estates
Instead of complying with the measures dictated by the City Council, regarding the removal of debris, archaeological direction and release of the stretch of ditch, the Hacienda Board proceeded to urge the City Council to carry it out by its own means, and on the other hand, placed a wall of concrete blocks and a fence over the channeling of turbines and scuttles.
In February 2010, the Urban Discipline Service proposed to impose a sanction qualified as 'Very serious' to the Board of Landowners, with a fine, and order to "physically restore the land to the state prior to the infraction".
The Town Planning Management Board examined the file on March 4, 2010, raising the sanction to the signature of the deputy mayor of Territorial Planning and Urban Planning, who signed it on the same day, dismissing the allegations because the license was not obtained at all time elapsed.
"As of today, the sanction is still not executed, the mill is still not rebuilt and the City continues to sign collaboration agreements with the Board of Landowners and contributing significant sums of money every year," says Morales.
Visit of Alicia Morales to the Mill and the ditch
The spokeswoman of the municipal training has visited today, next to the vowel of Now Murcia in Aljucer, Pedro Jesus Fernandez, the zone of the mill, as well as the section of the greater ditch of Barriers where it is located, contemplating the remains that are still preserved, like the 4 canalisations of stone and brick ashlars, which remain intact, as well as the bases of the walls of the mill.
Alicia Morales, in a video released by Ahora Murcia, has demanded the fulfillment of the sanction that in 2010 imposed the City of Murcia declaring the demolition as illegal, and that forced the reconstruction of the building.
Morales has indicated that "while the City Council continues granting subsidies and signing agreements with the Board of Landowners, it still does not comply with the reconstruction order ordered by the then Urban Planning Department"
The councilor has also demanded that the City Council ensure the cleanliness of the channel and the quijeros of the greater ditch of Barreras, which upstream of the mill suffers the accumulation of garbage, reeds and numerous remains that should not remain in an irrigation channel.
"The Consistory must ensure that the channels remain in the proper state of healthiness and ornate," he says, "and for the Board of Landowners perform in time and form the mondas and remondas that command the Ordinances of the Huerta, as well as comply with his work of monitoring channels. "
