In the ordinary plenary session of the month of June of the City Council of Totana, the independent councilman D. Juan Carlos Carrillo Ruiz, denounced in his turn of prayers and questions, the critical situation that are suffering the neighbors of some areas of our town where the bars serve , For years, and without any control on the part of its owners, alcoholic beverages to its customers:
QUESTION: A / A Mayor and Deputy Councilors of Public Safety, Health, Consumption, Ethnic Minorities, Parks and Gardens, Neighborhood and Licensing Boards of Establishments, Legalization of Existing and Sanctioning Records Related to Their Existence:
There are several years in which, still passing several government teams, there has been a root of a situation known all over some areas of this municipality where there are businesses of hospitality, (bars of drinks), that without any control by Part of their owners, serve alcohol to their clientele.
This is causing in these areas and almost daily, and at any time of the day, street fights, insults to neighbors or that they can not rest at night, several threats, destruction of urban furniture and garden areas, danger to traffic And the people themselves drinks, a tremendous lack of sanity inside some premises and on the same sidewalks and nearby places where urine, vomits and other things ..., that stay there and the cleaning services do not act on a daily basis as they should , (You can go tomorrow for the section of Avd. Lorca between the tobacconist and the garden of the prison, for example, to check the sanitary situation on the right bank of the avenue).
The question is very simple.
A- When are you planning to take legal but severe measures, by all the aforementioned councils, that with the collaboration and support also of the rest of this corporation, will lead to definitively end this situation ?.
Understanding that it is no longer time for more denunciations or "tantrums" on the part of the neighbors, thousands of them demand solutions and want them already.
Nor is it time for more police interventions that only make resources waste to this municipality and that do not arrive, by their powers, to be able to chop down this problem at root.
Yes, they sanction, but it's no use.
Last Sunday, this Councilman published in his profile of Facebook destined to have a direct communication with the neighbors of Totana, a photograph of a person lying on the street, "something very" normal "for these areas of bars, says the Own councilman.
The mentioned publication became viral among totaneros, reaching today to more than 11,000 people.
The situation, for it is anecdoticay and needs a solution, already.
This councilor tells us that this situation, not that it is precisely less, but has been established in these areas as something "traditional" and that the summer seasons, as we enter, is intensifying.
Neighbors resigned for years, they have no choice but to continue denouncing the situation and continue to endure whatever comes to them.
Other neighbors have chosen to change their residence and not many who could, would take the same path.
The councilor also wants to inform the neighbors through this means that he has initiated, in principle, a round of visits to try to make the owners of the premises mentioned understand that this situation has to end already, both by The good of the residents in the area as well as the customers who abuse the drink and leave the premises endangering their lives and those of other people, since there have been cases of finding people lying in the middle of the Tracks through which vehicles travel.
Or as he denounced to the councilman on his page a Lady, who sent him a photograph showing a person lying between a wall and half-body tucked in the back of his vehicle.
With the consequent risk of if this Lady had not seen him, he could have backtracked and run him over.
The Councilman also declares that it is intolerable and can not be allowed with the sole purpose of "making cash" and shielding these owners from the premises in laws that can somehow support them.
These have lost all civility, the sense of coexistence and respect for all resident neighbors.
I would like to remind the councilor about these property owners who have a moral duty and the obligation not to serve alcohol to people who are "threadbare", both for their safety and for the rest of neighbors of this municipality.
If we go to the egoistic plane of the economy, the councilman says that we should remember the continuous resources, both human and material, that this community has to spend from their pockets and periodically to alleviate the damages caused in urban furniture, cleaning or Necessary health and police assistance that these people need when they are warned by neighbors when they see people thrown in the public street and that, in principle, they do not know if it is due to a drunkenness or another type of disease, or even if they have died.
The "daily box" that these places make, could be said without any kind of doubts that is inversely proportional to the loss of heritage, both public and private of the neighbors of Totana.
Since this situation has degenerated over the years even in the loss of value, added to the market, of the homes or commercial premises of many neighbors who at the time of wanting to sell or rent, find that these areas are already "marked "For all the problems that this councilman denounces.
He also wants to make clear the councilman that it is not a question of entering into the debate as to whether the majority of those conflicted people or the owners of these premises are of this or that nationality and that this is an issue that does not interest you at all.
That what should interest us all is the power to live in a municipality where citizenship, order, cleanliness and respect for all people, whether of racial, national, political or religious origin, are reigning.
Finished the conversations with the owners of the conflicting premises.
The councilman intends to leave a reasonable period of time to check if the situation is improving.
For what he asks the help and collaboration of all the affected neighbors, so that if they observe such an improvement, they communicate it to him.
To do so, and subsequently, with the help of the City Council and other responsible councils, a plan is drawn up, if necessary, to take the corresponding legal measures aimed at the final closure of premises in which its owners have not acquired a commitment Firm of respect for all the neighbors affected by the bad management of their businesses.
