Proposals range from promoting options in its new buildings to create a specific plan of pruning.

Also calls for the express prohibition of the use of softwood, increasing the radius of the base to the trees or the use of low-impact species allergen.

The Task Progress and Democracy Union City Hall of Murcia, through Councilman Jose Antonio Sotomayor, values ​​the draft of the new green areas ordinance to be presented in plenary municipal March as "good, but improvement."

Sotomayor cree "positive" meetings prior to the Councillor for the Environment, Adela Martinez-Cachá, seeking consensus, and the contributions expected from Murcia UPyD incorporated into the final ordinance.

Specifically, UPyD Murcia proposes an explicit, if the environmental impact studies so require, to adapt the buildings of the new partial plans to the existing tree stands in the territory, creating a plan of annual pruning, increased radio for the bases of trees to ensure their survival or containing the prohibition of the use of pine wood, to prevent massive logging as in El Valle - Carrascoy in 2010.

Thus, after environmental impact studies, "the promoters would be given an opportunity to either adapt to the new buildings forested interest to protect or that, in cases of isolated trees, are transplanted to the nursery city" until they can be restored to their area of ​​origin, said Sotomayor.

Another proposal is that UPyD new ordinance establishes a plan of annual pruning, to order and detail a pattern and timing of pruning for each species.

Although it continues to commissioning an external company as before, a plan would avoid cases "as has happened in the past two years, which have been pruned orange trees in the flowering season, thus preventing the formation of orange", or that are pruned in late winter Redondo trees that are left over to buildings, says the mayor of training magenta.

In the section of Forest Harvesting, Murcia UPyD calls for explicit reference to exclude softwood such as pine.

Sotomayor explains, "we aim to be reflected in the future, for we are passing through and want to ensure that never again be cases such as El Valle - Carrascoy" where there was pine logging of 500,000 in 2010 " under a debatable technical reasons ".

Another key point is the radio UPyD proposed for the base of trees, too small, which could mean the death of the tree when making a work, if not followed proper distances, or the use of trees low impact on the tracks allergen-ups, hedges or roundabouts.

Finally, the Municipal Group of Murcia UPyD regrets that these meetings prior to seeking consensus when adopting new ordinances will not occur in all areas or councils, as the recent ordinance regulating outdoor advertising, adopted without consulting any .
