| Three streets of the Cabezo Verde urbanization will receive the definitive name of Papea Street, Club Jairis Street and Nueva Vanguardia Street | Alcantarilla joins the Network of Cities for the Bicycle to promote its use as a sustainable means of transport and develop cycle routes The Plenary Session of the Alcantarilla City Council, which was held online today, has unanimously given the green light to the assignment of a municipal plot to the Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium for the construction of a new fire station, which will provide service to anywhere in the Region. The plot has an area of ??19,800 square meters and is located next to the A-7 highway, in the old cattle market that is located on the Mula road.
The future fire station will also have a logistics center, a training and practice center and an area for workshops. The Mayor of Alcantarilla, Joaquín Buendía, stressed that the new facilities "will become a point of reference for the Consortium in the Region of Murcia, since Alcantarilla is a strategic point due to its location and the communications network that cross the municipality" . In addition, the construction of the new facilities "will allow us to free up the space currently occupied by the fire station and use it for new projects," he added. In today's session, the Plenary also agreed to urge the Government of Spain to activate a rescue plan for the hospitality industry as a matter of urgency, since it is one of the sectors most affected by the crisis that has unleashed the pandemic caused by the Covid-19.
Likewise, the City Council joins the Reactive plan for aid for the hotel and trade sector, launched by the regional government. New Cabezo Verde streets The Plenary unanimously approved the definitive name for three streets of the Cabezo Verde urbanization, which will be renamed PAPEA street, Club Jairis street and Nueva Vanguardia street. The streets are located in an area of ??expansion of the municipality, next to the 'Manuel Ruiz' sports center, where the soccer field and the athletics track are located, and until now they had the provisional denomination of vials G, J and M. The Councilor for Organization and Public Contracting, Paqui Terol, explained that "it is a tribute by the city to those who have contributed to the promotion and promotion of sport in Alcantarilla." Network of Cities for Bicycle The adhesion of Alcantarilla to the Network of Cities for Bicycles was another of the agreements adopted unanimously in plenary, in order to promote the use of bicycles as a sustainable means of transport and to develop infrastructures and cycle routes. This initiative is part of the lines of action to comply with the commitments of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (PACES), whose objective is to launch actions to combat climate change and reduce by 40 percent the greenhouse gases before 2030. Limitation of the public address Another of the issues approved in plenary was the limitation of the use of the public address system within the municipal term to improve neighborhood coexistence, through a modification of the Regulatory Ordinance of the Occupation of the Public Domain. With this modification it is restricted exclusively to information of general interest that contains cultural, sporting and social messages that all residents should know. This ordinance was unanimously approved in the plenary session in May and regulates the occupation conditions of parks, squares and streets to celebrate popular festivals, cultural, recreational, artistic, solidarity activities and sporting events. Transparency The Plenary agreed to create an investigation commission on contracts and invoices, as a transparency mechanism, at the proposal of the municipal group of the Popular Party. He also gave the go-ahead to the creation of an ethical channel to manage complaints about alleged bad practices or irregularities in the Administration by neighbors, at the proposal of the Socialist municipal group. In this sense, the Councilor for Transparency, Communication and Modernization, Luis Salinas, announced the creation next year of a Regulation of Transparency and Good Governance. Education reform Urge the Government of Spain to withdraw the educational reform of the Organic Law modifying the LOE (LOMLOE) and to protect the right of parents to choose the type of education they want for their children, as well as to decide whether to send their children to school with special needs in ordinary or special education centers, protecting the use of Spanish as the official language of the State and opening a process of dialogue with the educational community to achieve a State Pact for Education, was another of the issues approved today. Other issues At the beginning of the plenary session, he took office as councilor of the Alcantarilla City Council by the María Dolores Tomás Heredia Municipal Socialist Group, replacing Juana María Hidalgo Céspedes, who resigned from her position as councilor last October. Instar al equipo de gobierno a crear una comisión técnica de coordinación de entidades del tercer sector para mejorar la eficiencia, aprovechar los recursos de los que disponen las ONG que operan en el municipio y favorecer la interacción entre ellas, fue otro de los asuntos aprobados por unanimidad hoy, a propuesta del grupo municipal Ciudadanos. Además, el Pleno aprobó la cuenta general correspondiente al ejercicio 2019, tras su exposición al público por un plazo de 15 días.
