Alicia Morales recalls that the closure of the avenue of San Juan de la Cruz Avenue (Infante) "harms hundreds of students," since it serves the institutes Floridablanca and Saavedra Fajardo

NOW MURCIA denounces that the closure of two benches MuyBici in the last three months implies a breach of the technical specifications of the contract of the City Council with the concessionaire, as it reflected "the locations that are considered fundamental to vertebrate cycling communication between the Different peripheral districts and the center of the city ", and between these locations are the Atalayas and the avenue of San Juan de la Cruz (Infante), which have been closed.

Alicia Morales emphasizes that "the company can not modify aspects of the document to its will, but rather correspond to the City according to the Public Service Contracts Act."

The councilor and spokesperson of the municipal training ensures that the statement "refers to the expansion of the number of benches and the introduction of improvements in the service, but does not give the company the power to decide the closure of benches."

Now Murcia has directed a series of written communications to the Council of Urbanism, responsible for the service, requesting the reopening of these stations, as well as a copy of the reports on these closures and the report MuyBici was obliged to remit at 9 months Of operation of the service, according to the specifications.

The municipal training has also requested that the Local Police inform him about the incidents and vandalism suffered by each of the municipal benches.

Morales emphasizes that the closure of the station in the avenue of San Juan de la Cruz (Infante) is especially negative, since, when it is next to the institutes Floridablanca and Saavedra Fajardo, "its closure is affecting hundreds of students."

The mayor affirms that Now Murcia has received the complaints of students of these public centers, that also indicate that "the vandal acts in the closed station were not more frequent nor greater than in other benches of the zone".

The mayor also emphasizes that students denounce "the lack of information received, both when they closed the station, overnight and without prior notice, as at this time, when they do not provide information on whether this closure is temporary or definitive ".

Morales warns that Now Murcia "will follow up on the reopening of these benches and that the concessionaire company does not continue to close stations with the excuse of vandalism acts. We also believe it necessary to involve the City Council in the supervision of services Of this type, which can not be left to the whim of the company, attending only to economic exploitation or isolated incidents.
