PSOE spokesman, Pedro Lopez, defend an initiative in the plenary session on Thursday asking the City Council put in place urgent measures to recover the city-owned buildings and to establish a line of financial assistance for the rehabilitation of private property

PSOE spokesman, Pedro Lopez, put back on the table a key issue for the municipality: the heritage of the Garden is in serious danger and recovery is absolutely necessary, not only as a mere question his undoubted romantic and historic value and cultural, but because the Socialists are convinced that it can become a source of employment to stimulate economic recovery.

Thus, Lopez will defend in Parliament tomorrow a motion asking the City Council to implement urgent recovery measures of city-owned buildings that are listed in the Catalogue of Protected Buildings and Elements General Urban Plan (Plan) such as the Falcon Tower Mill Espinardo and the Love of The Albatalía: Mill and the Batan and Islamic Torres is in Zarandona or El Molino Alfatego Depth, in short, will become municipal property.

For the private wealth of the Garden which is also listed, the Socialist spokesman PP propose to establish a line of financial assistance for rehabilitation.

There are currently twenty-tower houses, mills and other buildings abandoned to their fate throughout the Huerta that the City should recover with an economic boost.

In this sense, Lopez proposes that by 2012 will launch an online financial aid worth 250,000 euros, for 2013 and € 500,000 for 2014 and 2015 to ascend to 1 million euros.

Once rehabilitated this heritage, the owners may give it a tourist and hotel use, said spokesman of the PSOE, who cites as an example, in the case of tower houses, which they could support small businesses such rural guesthouses, restaurants, as did in his day the Silk Mansion.

In short, Lopez insists a plan to build tourist accommodation in the area and develop new activities complementary to rural tourism.

"We hope that this time the RFP is sensitive, help the Huerta, his heritage, and to break this pattern of neglect, degradation and ruin that we should stop indulging."
