Councilman IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, José Ignacio Tornel, has raised today surprised by the fact that the planned investment of 500,000 euros for the construction and improvement of park and ride facilities covered by the Mobility Plan is not included in municipal budgets, to be enacted.

Tornel has indicated that Councilman Traffic, Javier Iniesta, has argued that these car parks can not be managed by the City Council direct service because no budget and personnel, which commissioned the project Urbamusa.

However, for Tornel, "Iniesta no budget because it has not had the will to create the relevant budget line, especially considering that the announced investment is acceptable and should have planned for 2015 budgets."

As for the staff, "right now the City should legalize irregular employment situation of 400 people who come from the social collaboration. Therefore, it has plenty of staff to work in car parks without hiring others different."

According to the plan designed by Councilman Traffic, 85% of the profits from the operation will go to the hands of Urbamusa when a direct management of the City, with the staff already available and with minimal investment, " the entire investment and profit obtained could reverse the public coffers, and not in the pocket of intermediaries.

In short, "Iniesta proposes a management that ignores own resources and that is a strange way to save and return on investment. Moreover, within the agreement with Urbamusa the possibility that this contract works, services or supplies provided for with third parties. "

"The benefits that the City will no longer receive not directly manage these parks serve to lower the rates they pay you or to encourage the use of transport, especially since about connecting these car parks with public mass transit lines and all what you save on parking encourages investment in public transport.
