To Penalva, the City must act as a catalyst and coordinate the activities of the various authorities to definitively address the necessary works at the northern entrance of Cieza.
Antonio Penalva, councilman and spokesman of the municipal group of IU-Greens Cieza has appeared before the media to present the initiative that his group will take the next plenary session of the Corporation, replacing the old bridge Asensao by adequate infrastructure to current needs.
According Penalva, "the area is very poor and the lack of action by the City of Cieza been conspicuous by its absence, even after the adoption in 2007 by the plenary of the Corporation and unanimously a proposal for rehabilitation IU and restructuring of the north entrance ".
"It's been seven years," continued the spokesman for IU-Green, "and no conclusive action, only some of urgency in the Cabezo of Fuensantilla, everything continues in the same state of decay and deterioration that time, so a Again we find something that the PP has us accustomed and plenary agreements is that most of the time do not pass the paper on which is written ".
The reasons for replacement are clear, precise Penalva, "Bridge Asensao was built in 1856, has nearly 150 years so it is not hard to understand that is outdated, involves narrowing of the platform of a feet and hampers visibility, lacks pedestrian access, and is one of the points where there are more accidents in the municipality of Cieza ".
For the eco-socialist mayor, "the adoption of this motion by the city would be a good start of actions in the area, which would be required for the intervention of both the central government, as the bridge, as the passage of the route railway is under the Ministry of Development, and the local and regional administration. "
He also commented Penalva, "whether there is a surplus of three million euros as claimed from the Department of Finance is not understood that we continue dragging deficiencies in infrastructure, employment policies, social protection, education, etc. and that the excuse Non addressed are the future economic reasons for the crisis, indicating incompetence in setting the revenue needs of the municipality ".
Therefore, the IU-Green "municipal group calls on all political groups favorable vote for this initiative and start a priority negotiations with the Ministry of Development for replacement by a new bridge pass to the railroad ".
The alternative, says Antonio Penalva, "would create broad access without danger to road safety, building a new bridge parallel to the current, on its west side and well away from the A-30. The new infrastructure could have the characteristics the viaduct of the highway that has a light 37 meters, enough to create access composed of two lanes, shoulders, sidewalks, bike paths and landscaped median distance.
