The spokeswoman asked whether the fall of branches is due to a structural failure or an exceptional situation and, if after closing gardens and cordoning green areas, "we are sure that the problem no longer exists"

The Municipal Socialist Group urges the PP to review the Service of Conservation and Maintenance of Gardens and Alignment Woodland of the Municipality of Murcia in the Commission for Monitoring Large Contracts to verify "what are being spent over 8 million euros per year Of this service, since there are constant complaints about the poor state of the gardens of districts, "Socialist spokeswoman Susana Hernández said.

Therefore, "as guarantors of the expenditure of public money we need concrete and clear explanations of the responsible councilman, and to verify thus that the budget for maintenance is not concentrating only in the gardens of the center of the city or if the Councilor of Modernization of the Administration , Urban Quality and Participation, José Guillén, is prioritizing works that are not urgent or even not proper to conservation of gardens, "Hernández points out, adding that" it is also urgent to clarify if for this service are being allocated the 151 daily workers who , As a minimum, provides for the contract ".

In this regard, the Councilor considers that "every year are allocated more than 8 million euros to gardens, an amount not negligible that in districts are not being seen. In fact, with a walk through any town of the municipality, we can see the abandonment Existing, so we do not know if maintenance is responding more to the whims of councilman Guillén than to the real needs of our green areas.

"And I do not want the responsible councilor to justify enumerating the parks that have been remodeled, since many of these jobs run on the budgets of the districts," says Hernandez.

Likewise, Hernández is interested in the fall of branches of the last weeks, as well as the closure of the Floridablanca garden for this cause, and asks what is happening with the trees of the municipality and if the fall of branches responds to a structural failure or Is an exceptional situation.

In addition, "we also want to be sure that after the closure of the garden or the cordoning of monumental trees the problem does not exist."

The abandonment continues in the districts

We have been demanding the repair of green areas, some like in El Palmar, which still have important evidence of the torrential rains of December. And that are susceptible to cause accidents of the users of the parks, because we do not forget that these zones are frequented mainly by children and old people.

In this sense, "we have already denounced on several occasions the lack of sand with important socavones, furniture, especially benches, broken or rusty, street lamps with the base exposed, tiles raised in the play areas and lack of lighting, among others Deficiencies of relief ", explains the spokeswoman.
