The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group Begoña García Retegui, who has participated today in the meeting of the draft of the Municipal Accessibility Plan, declares that what was presented by the Councilor for Social Rights "is not a true Plan, but a battery of actions, because there is no technical document, with diagnosis, evaluation, assessment, timing and costs ".

García Retegui, who misses the implication of the government team as a whole, states that the relevance of this Plan should be, at least, at the same level as the Murcia River project, which means for thousands of neighbors and neighbors They must deal every day with an inaccessible municipality.

For all this, during the meeting, the socialist councilor has made contributions "to give the document a new vision and form urging to complete it by committing the entire government team, defining priorities, in order to realize the objective of an accessible municipality and move towards a true Plan in which people with disabilities and their groups find solutions and budget commitment ".

"We also observed that for the PP the city is the center of action for most of the planned actions, so we have reminded that in districts there are many needs in terms of accessibility and the municipal boards must be When setting priorities and actions, for example, there is talk of installing a magnetic loop in the Teatro Circo and Romea, which is undoubtedly correct, but when are the auditoriums of districts that are not even named? "We have municipal centers, libraries and centers for the elderly that do not have an elevator, such as Nonduermas or Ermita de Burgos." Likewise, Begoña García Retegui warns that it is also accessibility to make public transportation available to citizens who connect them. with its hospitals, since, for example, the residents of Patiño or those of the Santa Catalina highway have to take two buses to reach the Reina Sofía.

In addition, it is essential that all premises, sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and traffic lights comply with the regulations and be accessible in the medium term, especially because this Plan takes months of delay, should be applied from December 2017, at least.

"Although we recognize the work of the Department of Social Rights, is a Plan that requires a calendar and prioritization of actions, beyond the validity of the draft itself," according to the councilor, who adds that "we expect speed and the sooner we have also with the municipal ordinance committed.
