The deterioration of Huerta de la Reina is an issue that periodically appears on the municipal agenda but, unfortunately for its residents, disappears as it is implemented there. In less than a decade, the Plenary of The town hall It has been agreed on four occasions to approve an action plan to improve this enclave of the city but the intervention program has not yet arrived.
In January 2016, on the proposal of Cs – to which all the groups then joined – the highest body of capitulars gave the green light to “an improvement plan” of Queen’s Garden. It included measures such as “the reform and restructuring of sidewalks and pedestrian areas.” Likewise, the need to “address both traffic and parking issues, including a regulated and free parking model for residents” was highlighted. So many questions that continue to circulate among the needs of the inhabitants of this enclave.
The same thing happens with another of the points included in this agreement – and which continues to be a requirement on your part. neighborhood association-. This involved approving a set of measures in collaboration with the Commerce Federation to promote the presence of this sector in this district.
The Corporation changed and a bipartisan PSOE-IU party was left behind and a co-government of PP and Cs came to take control of the city in mid-2019, but the problems in Huerta de la Reina continued . In May 2021, at the request of PSOE All municipal groups approved that the city council launch a “recovery program” for this area. The content was similar to that approved five years earlier.
The oblivion he fell into was also identical. Vox brought the issue back to the forefront in February 2022. Its motion – in which it was also recalled that the 2021 agreement had not been respected – was adopted unanimously. In this case, in addition to bringing together the measures already proposed, the action program has been more detailed. For example, improvements were required in the Gardens of the Virgin of the Starsuch as increased monitoring or “the overhaul and replacement of lighting with one that increases lighting.”
The need for “urgent interventions on abandoned land, both in those where there are buildings in a state of abandonment or ruin and in those which do not, was also underlined; especially in the Goya Street“. The collapse of part of a building on the said road on October 31 brought the state of this enclave back to the forefront.
And in February 2023, the formation of Santiago Abascal once again brought to the plenary the demand for a complete package actions for this neighborhood. Once again all parties supported him and once again he fell into oblivion.
