"As a result of discussions with the regional government, we are now in a position to announce the ciezanos that, thanks to these steps taken, the Riverside Drive is not going to cost anything ciezanos, since the Autonomous Community will finance the 20 percent of the final payment. "
This was announced the mayor of Cieza, Pascual Lucas, whom he described as "excellent news" the agreement reached between the two administrations.
The Autonomous Community of Murcia fully pay the percentage of the payment of the expansion works of this green corridor whose cost should assume the City of Cieza, an investment of over 3,800,000 euros, of which about three million come from European funds.
Both administrations have agreed to sign an agreement with the purpose of financing outstanding 825,000 euros municipal contribution.
Thus, the ruler wanted to explain to citizens what is the current status of financing of the works of Riverside Drive after talks with President Pedro Antonio Sanchez and the Minister Andrés Carrillo.
"The Region will fund the 20 percent through direct grants each year, the first 94,000 euros and that it is reflected in the budget for 2016. We hope to formalize the agreement to ensure in the next few years these financial contributions ".
So, wanted to thank explicitly the president of the region "the sensitivity shown by the City Council and ciezanos and willingness from the start to meet our request, as well as the Minister of Finance together with the municipal government has worked to shape economic aid. It thus ends a chapter of Riverside Drive and ends in the best way possible, with the work done and zero cost for ciezanos. I can only invite our neighbors to care for the Paseo, to respect it and above all to enjoy. "
Lucas has reiterated once again that, "far from polemics so interested in recent months on this project, the government team has not done anything, with its mayor at the head, to work for its implementation It will be held in the best conditions and with maximum guarantees, and because ciezanos not cost them anything. We all remember the fuzzy conditions and not quantified the agreement signed by the previous government team and Acuamed, and that the municipal government was responsible for clarify and point out with the company and plotted on paper, with the consequence of course no added cost to the City Council and by extension everyone ciezanos ".
And it is that given the difficult situation created by the obligation to pay the amount of the judgment on the grounds of the V6, the mayor of Cieza held several meetings with the regional president and the Minister of Finance and Public Administration with the "sole purpose of requesting collaboration of the Autonomous Community of Murcia to the poor economic situation arising as budgetary payments instability arising from the judgment of the V6, debt assumption of the heated pool or winding back the state.
