Gloria Mart n stressed that the area, framed within the city's monumental historical complex, "has incredible potential" and that it cannot continue to offer an image of marginality, forcing residents who want to improve its quality of life and the environment that they inhabit to do so in inappropriate conditions of the 21st century The councilor for Izquierda Unida-Verdes in the Lorca City Council, Gloria Mart n, has proposed to carry out an "Urban Innovative Action" on the site that houses the old deposits of the Mancomunidad de los Canales del Taibilla, in the neighborhood of Santa Mar a.

The 3,110 m2 site is classified as a "green area and free space" in the current General Plan, which is why, for Mart n, it is an ideal space for the creation of a large park that includes a "Skate Zone" taking advantage of the terrain.

In addition, it houses a warehouse out of service and four booths that add up to a total constructed area of ??399 m2 and that could be recovered for the start-up of an alternative leisure center for Lorca's youth, which lacks this infrastructure.

Despite the investments made in this popular neighborhood through European funds such as the Urban Plan, the area continues to be one of the most depressed in the urban area, which shows, according to Mart n, "that urban regeneration is not achieved by changing the cobblestones of the streets or rehabilitating a church ", but it is necessary" to develop innovative strategies through an integrated approach that considers the social, economic and environmental aspects that favor sustainable urban development " .

Mart n stressed that the area, framed within the city's monumental historical complex, "has incredible potential" and that it cannot continue to offer an image of marginality, forcing residents who want to improve their quality of life and the environment that they inhabit to do so in inappropriate conditions of the 21st century.

In this regard, the mayor of IU-Verdes was in favor of continuing to carry out improvements in infrastructure and public services but warned that "everything that is invested will be useless" if it is not worked on the development of programs aimed at "raising awareness and involving the entire population in taking care of the home, the proper use of common spaces and improving health in the family environment." "Our neighborhoods cannot be territories where people live outside of municipal regulations and public order and it is the City Council's obligation to address problems in all their dimensions and act accordingly," he said.

For Mart n it is a "necessary and possible challenge" and he opted to carry out an ambitious integration project through a new urban planning model "that socially cohesive by putting people at the center." To do this, the councilor of IU-Verdes believes "essential" the creation of neighborhood councils that should be given participation in the planning of works in public space.

"If residents feel what is believed in their neighborhoods is their own, they will become the best allies for its conservation," he concluded.
