"We are fed up with submit claims and complaints in writing, that is why we have decided to record the reality so that the situation in which we live and the work that we are forced to carry out can be seen”, those affected have claimed.The problem, as the residents of the (undeveloped) area recall, is that the street and the container area are unpaved, which leads to "numerous difficulties".One of them is that the sweeper “cannot pass and clean the surroundings of the containers due to the state of the street and that is why we have been without this service for six months.In addition, the garbage truck encounters difficulties when it comes to turning around and going through the streets to collect our waste”, the residents have denounced.JUAN ANTONIO, BETWEEN TIC-TOC AND TIC-TOC AND A PAMPHLET WITH A PHOTO, CLEANS OUR PEOPLE It has been more than six months since the precarious cleaning service has passed through the streets of the La Pinaeta neighborhood, and for more than a year no one has cleaned the around the containers, having turned the area into an unhealthy place, where organic remains, plastics, cans, boats, furniture, weeds and garbage accumulate.This situation has been denounced before the City Council, presenting several writs by entry register, not deigning the consistory not even to answer them.Given the inaction of the municipal services, a group of neighbors have taken action, organizing ourselves to carry out a cleaning raid around the containers, having collected ten large bags of remains and waste.The abandonment that many neighborhoods of Paterna suffer (especially those on the outskirts) is unfortunate, while our Mayor, in a show of cynicism and hypocrisy, allows himself the luxury of sending us a letter with a magnet and of course his photo, giving himself the snot of the impressive cleaning campaign carried out in Paterna, perhaps it only refers to the main street or to the door of your house, of course in the neighborhoods that campaign has not been noticed, on the contrary, in the case of La Pinaeta the service has simply disappeared.With the cost of the little letter to show off the tictocter Mayor, photo with a professional smile included, many daily wages could have been paid for the cleaning staff and thus comply with the law, which obliges the City Council to provide an effective cleaning service in all its municipality.For this reason, those affected have insisted that they need “the Paterna City Council to develop La Pinaeta, pave its streets and take charge of maintenance and cleaning.It is a neighbor who is taking care of cleaning the area every week, and this weekend we have gone out to the street to collect the garbage because we can't take it anymore.Paterna has turned us into urbanizing agents”.Likewise, the neighbors have protested against the latest letters that the city council has sent to the houses informing about improvements in the cleaning service and "bragging about its effectiveness"."That will be in the center of the city, but here we don't see any of that, our situation is very different and it seems that they have forgotten about us, even though we pay our taxes like everyone else", they have pointed out.Image of the neighbors in the cleaning tasks.LEV-EMVOn the other hand, those affected have affirmed that as they are unpaved dirt streets, "when it rains, large puddles of mud form, which make the minimum cleaning work that we demand even more difficult."Waste collected by neighbors.However, from the Paterna City Council, they have explained that their inaction is a matter of "legality and urban planning."Thus, the consistory is supported by the fact that "the houses were built in their day on undeveloped land, and from the city they are granted the services they can count on by law."However, the neighbors have protested, since they assure that they pay the corresponding IBI "the same as the rest of the citizens".The council indicates that it offered the residents of La Pinaeta an "urbanization project to satisfy their claims, in which the residents had to take care of the asphalt because they were on undeveloped land."Finally, those affected rejected it.Enjoy all the newsNews saved in your profileNews saved in your profileNews saved in your profileNews saved in your profile© Editorial Prensa Valenciana, SA All rights reserved
