In fact the improvements respond to the special interest expressed by the Mayor, Fulgencio Gil, so that the groups that make use of the site have the same in optimal conditions.
It should be noted that the first to benefit from these improvements have been precisely the merchants, who premiered the new presence of the venue in its populous celebration last Thursday.
The work that has been carried out has included a detailed cleaning of the whole enclosure, as well as the elimination of graffiti on the walls of the premises, repainting of lines of delimitation of weekly market stalls, painted half a hundred nodes of supply (Approx. 220 m2), horizontal delimitation of new traffic lanes in the transit areas of the Huerto de la Rueda, and the marking and delimitation of 200 new parking spaces, of Which 5 are reserved for use by the disabled.
It should be remembered that one of the priority lines of action that have been established within the commercial promotion of the city is the enhancement and improvement of the weekly market, taking into account the common proposals of the Consistory and the merchants themselves.
This is a team work that, among other things, resulted in the City Council approved a year ago exempt from the payment of taxes and fees to the 230 market vendors when it can not be held in the Garden of the Wheel.
This measure, which led to the modification of Municipal Tax Ordinances for this purpose, has directly benefited all professionals working in the popular Lorca market on Thursdays and due to their coincidence in certain dates with other events Which are carried out in the same location, moves its assembly to other areas.
It should be remembered that the weekly market of Lorca dates back to 1465, when Henry IV granted Lorca a free market on Thursdays, and the privilege was confirmed by the Catholic Monarchs in 1495 and by Charles II in 1685.
