Councilman Francisco Saorín said Wednesday at a press conference that urbanism "is also social and participatory", understanding that this axis must be developed from now on managing the municipal area that he directs.
Saorín said that "urbanism in our people, now more than ever, must be a tool to create a model city made with the participation of everyone in this task and it is essential that we involve them all, the current government, opposition groups in a constructive spirit, as well as merchants, neighbors, family, children, young and old to take forward a common urban regeneration project, not with the aim of creating a new city, unfamiliar and alien to its citizens, but a regenerated, maintained and livable "city.
The mayor was convinced that, in this task of improvement and regeneration, involvement in designing measures "should be everyone, understanding sustainability criteria, participation, solidarity and continuous development, alternating classical forms acting with new technologies. "
It therefore invited the public to download the Green Line in the mobile application through https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lineaVerde.App&hl=es to "begin to manage what you want to improve, the only way all parties involved will be agents of change, the care and the project. "
He analyzed that, "it is evident that our people suffer a continuous deterioration, sometimes not only by the action of time or lack of equipment, which continues to be a reality, but even by our own actions, bad civic practices that lead in the generation of continuous dirt bad habits or lack of awareness about caring for things, the result of not feeling that Cieza mainly is ours, their citizens, make our people lose appeal and we all perjudiquemos by it. "
Lines of action within an overall framework
Saorín announced, therefore, intended that their lines of action are always within a general framework "is to improve people to people, on the one hand, and on the other, make it more attractive for foreign and visitors. Managing all resources, paying particular attention to street cleaning, the streets, the parks, the street furniture, the parking, creating it and managing new spaces for it, as solar -a abandoned by their owners who last week He sent them a letter inviting them to clean and conveniently fencing these areas failing to do so the City Council to pass on the costs-then, improve mobility, improve connections with our natural environment, without forgetting everything about the greater flexibility for issuing building permits or other administrative arrangements more technical nature, for which I have a great team of workers, well prepared and willing to join this task. "
The council called for "public support in this effort," adding that "we need an overall change, we must forget the 'what's mine" to move to the concept of' we manage ours. '"
On the other hand, he explained that the Planning Department is divided into three main areas, which are the planning, construction and services or urban quality, being also located within Environment and Health, corresponding address and falling two delegations in other two different councilors;
in short, a difficult gibberish for citizens to understand and manage for politicians and public employees themselves who have to carry out their various tasks and procedures in all of the above.
It's all nonsense and structured organization mounted by the previous government team's Party, which left Cieza the brink of ruin and an organization of municipal services not understand or own officials or employees, who are the ones to manage, to respond to the problems and needs of the citizens. "
According to Francisco Saorín, "we have a local government and its various departments, the Planning and again that has lacked political direction, no political project, which has done nothing to punish citizens and even employees city. The managers of this department and its different areas, previous politicians have been exerting a command and control, in most cases without meaning and without any basis, sometimes with approaches that border on the absurd, They have been friends to please everyone with good words but no concrete facts failure, causing despair and discontent of users. They have been friends for not addressing the problems, friends cover them with alternative solutions, they have practiced what to that the best solution to manage a problem, create another. "
It criticized that, in the Department of Urban Development, "which has a budget of more than 50% of the municipal budget was spent huge amounts of money in hundreds of pots and furniture, with only one goal, cover the problems and feed smelters, paper mills have purchased nearly 300 euros, having got 90, real tomes that have subsequently been abandoned dirt and boredom. As I say, a real absurdity of political leadership of politicians to use more concerned about their salaries to end of the month and be placing their friends in order to win votes. "
He finished detailing their task in this month and a half as head of Planning has been to "know and do an analysis of what I've found, to know the processes, the different areas, to the people who make and manage the department, together management of emergency action that must be addressed in all three areas for the good of the citizens, as well as attend and listen to the requests and complaints of hundreds of neighbors who come in response to requests made a long time ago and not They were solved, leading to a situation of incomprehension and helplessness on the part of residents and users.
