| They denounce that once again the cuts hit the districts, education, youth and the environment hard | A group of 93 students and 77 teachers from IES Sierra de Carrascoy in El Palmar find themselves without a public urban bus service to go home after school.The IES Sierra de Carrascoy is one of the reference educational centers in El Palmar for ESO and Bachiller students, it is located approximately 3 km away.

from the district, without accesses enabled to move by bicycle or on foot, lacking a bike lane and safe pedestrian access to the educational center.To date, the public transport company LAT had, on line 28 Sangonera la Verde-Murcia, a bus schedule that coincided with the entry and exit times of the students and teachers of the institute, thus facilitating their attendance .

What is the surprise that on the day of the beginning of the classes the students, when leaving the institute, go to the bus stop and find that there is no bus, having to telephone the parents, who are in their homes.

jobs, most of them, to pick them up.

We must also take into account the restrictions that according to the regulations we have in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia for the use of private transport, which makes movement even more difficult,not being able to use the solidarity service between families that has always existed to move several people in the same private vehicle to the institute.It should also be noted that in the vicinity of the Educational Center, there is the Day Center for People with Intellectual Disabilities, belonging to the CEOM association and the CFIE (Center for Training and Employment Initiatives) of the Murcia City Council, with numerous students who also do use of public transport, in fact, in previous years, the bus that has disappeared from the schedules, the one that passed by the booth stop at around 2:30 p.m.

It was the busiest of people on that line, having written complaint to the Lat company on more than one occasion to reinforce the line at that time.In addition, MercaMurcia, Penitentiary Center, Murcia Social Insertion Center, DGT facilities where tests are carried out to obtain a driving license, municipal vehicle depot, detention center for foreigners of Murcia, are also located in the vicinity.

in addition to other companies and associations that host hundreds of workers in their workforce every day.Far from reinforcing the line, we find ourselves in this school year, with which it has been eliminated, with the serious damages that it entails for the families of the aforementioned centers, their students and the educational and professional community.It is demanded that the existing service be restored immediately, the schedules that existed the previous year, specifically the bus that passed by the stop at the MercaMurcia crossing at around 2:30 p.m.

to thus facilitate the attendance of the students to their training and educational centers and to the workers to their jobs.The disappearance of this service is causing a serious damage in the educational process of the youth of El Palmar, a problem of reconciling work and family life for the families of El Palmar, an economic problem if they have to resort to private discretionary transport , as well as the obstruction in the incorporation of hundreds of workers to their jobs and the training process of other hundreds of users who go to the other centers on a daily basis from all points of the municipality and even the region.These disadvantages that the districts are constantly suffering are detrimental and seriously damage the measures of family conciliation, the educational and training process of the youth of el palmar and the rest of the municipality and the region and an environmental problem for the municipality.For all the above, they demand that public transport be strengthened, as it is included in the Master Plan of Public Transport of the Region of Murcia to facilitate family and work conciliation of the families of El Palmar, avoid an economic detriment in the family economy, favor the educational and training process of the youth of El Palmar, avoid damage to the environment and facilitate the mobility of citizens in general.
