The Socialists regret that the Augusto Vels park is suffering from a state of abandonment in maintenance, surveillance, lighting and that, in addition, even a minimum kiosk-canteen service that, especially in the summer months, filled this life with life is no longer guaranteed. space.
This service, which ceased to be provided on October 8, 2018, invited citizens to stay longer and more comfortably in the park, enjoying a recreational space for both children and adults, in what María Rosa García considered "one step back from so many that have been taken in recent years", since "since the bar was closed it has left users without service, it has been reduced maintenance and does not even have a minimum toilet service necessary especially for children¨
It is incomprehensible that the kiosk and canteen service of a park that is located in the heart of our municipality has been closed throughout the summer.
There has been a unilateral closure by the concessionaire of the service, something that from the City Council of Puerto Lumbreras should not have been allowed, and must take the necessary steps to grant it to a new concessionaire who can provide this service.
María Rosa García believes that ¨ since closing in October 2018 to June 2019 they have had time to give a solution.
It is another example of the neglect and inefficiency that has become a characteristic of the PP government team â€
As a result of this situation on July 16, the PSOE fully implemented a motion to demand that the government team restore the service, and to ensure that the necessary procedures were carried out as soon as possible, acquiring the commitment to restore the service in a optimal conditions.
The Socialists indicated that, for this, it is necessary to strictly comply with the rules of kioscocantina (in no case as a restaurant) since this can be a disadvantage for the rest of the premises of the municipality.
It must be clear that it is a public concession.
Unfortunately, the proposed initiative was not approved in plenary, being rejected by the votes against the Popular Party and Vox.
According to María Rosa García "it is unacceptable that proposals that are beneficial for the Lumbrereans are rejected in the plenary because these political groups are unable to support the initiatives presented by the PSOE" and adds that "the Socialists have taught a lesson in honesty in the first full ordinary, supporting all the initiatives that we have found reasonable and appropriate, regardless of the color of the political group that has presented them.It is unfortunate that the government team is not able to set an example, demonstrating once again its lack of democratic spirit to through permanent blockade of the opposition.
