Councilman IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, José Ignacio Tornel, said today that the new contract signed by the Councillor for Tourism, Miguel Cascales, for placement of tourist maps ('marquees') in neighborhoods and districts is " unjustified and risky. "
According Tornel, these 'marquees' "actually spend 50 percent to advertising media, with appropriate credit, we suppose, by the advertisers."
The mayor has indicated some of the maps have had to relocate because of complaints from neighbors and merchants, who considered "harmful" to their interests.
"This shows that the criterion location not in the interest of tourism promotion and information to citizens that the City should pursue, but fluctuates at the request of those who protest as your particular case."
To Tornel the "most sensitive" aspect is the possibility that the new contract that keeps invading the firm JCDecaux consistory from 2007 to 2020 on the placement of bus shelters, information media, toilets and shelters for taxis available .
In this regard, he stressed that the City "runs the risk of creating a conflict with JCDecaux because this whimsical action Cascales," contracted by invading powers.
"It is again highlighted the lack of coordination between councils when applying the vaunted austerity in order to save on public investment and that pursuing a new contract rather than collecting promotional purpose," he finished.
