The PP describes the Mercat's work as "botched", while the City Council assures that the criticisms are "unfounded"

January 31 from 2024 - 13: 18

The spokesperson for the municipal group of PP, Pepa Font, has declared that the maintenance work carried out in the Municipal Market is another "botched job that demonstrates the lack of planning by the government team and the lack of respect towards the vendors of the municipal market and their clients, who little by little are being expelled due to lack of parking and accessibility.

Through a press release issued last Tuesday, his colleague and popular delegate of Commerce and Market, Marian Moltó, insisted that, from the City Council, "they have kept half of the facility closed to the public and demonstrate how the Government team PSPV-Compromise, bad. Furthermore, it states that the sellers "already reluctantly accepted the closure proposal in two batches of fifteen days each for work that consisted of thorough cleaning of the facilities", something that the City Council has been quick to deny because they claim that The work schedule has been agreed upon after meeting with local businesses.

Moltó argues that "it has not been painted, eliminating pigeon droppings, nor have the windows been cleaned and the old vinyls replaced." However, he recognizes that one of the actions that have been carried out is the cleaning of the "scuppers that produced bad odors", but it was a cleaning that "could have been carried out perfectly any afternoon of the week, without having to close the positions and bother customers.

The PP has also expressed its discomfort regarding access to the building during these works. "To access the Market, customers have to guess which door is open, since there is no type of signage or sign indicating where it can be accessed," said the councilor.

In this sense, he added that "after months with the accessible door pending repair, it has not been possible to do so during the fifteen days that that part of the Market has been closed and the repair work begins when it can only be accessed through the area." of fishmongers.

The council calls the criticism “unfounded”

From the City Council, the Councilor for Commerce, Economic Promotion and Employment, María José García, responded this Wednesday to the opposition's criticism, which he described as "unfounded, because all the information is held by market workers." In this sense, he has highlighted that there is a mixed commission, "in which there are monthly meetings and where everything had been discussed previously."

García insists that, although the market has been closed for fifteen days, "officially it has only been closed for ten business days", a period in which "they cannot do all the big jobs" they want to do. The painting, he mentioned, is an issue that "it was agreed to continue doing by closing the market in the afternoons and then the upper part would be done, because cleaning the floor and painting the ceiling is not compatible and both things cannot be done at the same time." at the same time."

Furthermore, she added that this is "misinformation" on the part of the PP and that if they had called her by phone, "she would have told them that everything was planned, but in different periods of time." Therefore, he concludes that these statements arise because the opposition "has to attack in some way."

According to the technical report on the maintenance work of the Municipal Market to which Dénia.com has had access, it is reported that the closing time "agreed upon by the mixed commission" would be ten business days.
