The Popular Party of Santa Úrsula have presented a motion that will be debated in the next municipal plenary session, which will be held on Tuesday, November 30, for the City Council to reduce the Real Estate Tax (IBI) to urbanizations that, like The fifthThey have not been received by the City Council and remain in a kind of legal limbo in which their streets and services are not entirely public or private.
On October 17, the president of the La Quinta de Chimaque Neighbors Association, Jorge Andrés Pérez Hernández, denounced in EL DÍA that the residents of these two urbanizations on the coast pay «600,000 euros of IBI per year to the Santa Úrsula Town Hall and in La Quinta practically nothing is reinvested ”.
Pérez Hernández acknowledged that the City Council “does take care of garden maintenance, road signs, part of the public lighting, water supply, building permits, fords … And it charges us the IBI.” From this neighborhood group they have calculated that the 2,000 homes of La Quinta, calculated on the basis of authorized water meters, «pay an average of 300 euros per year, which adds up to a total of about 600,000 euros of IBI every year. About 6 million euros in the last ten years. We feel abandoned, first by the City Council and then by the rest of the administrations. We have gone to knock on many doors and we did not find shelter either, “they lament.
Eduardo Suarez, councilor of the PP in the northern city council, points out that this proposal “obeys a question of social justice, since there is a comparative offense with the rest of citizens who reside in other areas of the municipality” that have services and maintenance of common spaces.
“It is a question of social justice, since there is a comparative offense with the rest of citizens who reside in other areas of the municipality”
The popular ones propose the formula of the annual fee bonus of the so-called urban contribution to try to compensate «the abandonment of municipal services, infrastructures, equipment or security, deficiencies that in many cases cause unsustainable situations for the citizens of certain urbanizations of Saint Ursula».
The PP recalls that in the municipality there are several urbanizations that have been waiting for years to be delivered once completed, “but in the face of the collapse of the services dependent on the Consistory, many citizens feel defenseless.” In the opinion of the popular, «the local administration is, and should be, responsible for leading or promoting all those actions aimed at achieving a satisfactory solution to this type of situation, and mitigate in an effective and reasonable way, the negative effects that the delay in its application may have on the neighbors who reside in these parts of the town ”.
In this situation, the populars They emphasize that they cannot remain “impassive” and that is why they request “the support of the plenary session for this motion that will be seen next Tuesday to do justice to hundreds of citizens.”
