Ask for a detailed explanation and the Councillor for the Environment |

Last Saturday morning we were alerted by a neighbor about the grave danger presented palm tree at one end of the promenade of the Track.

It is appreciated that it was very affected by the plague of red palm weevil, with all the heart up to the side, so you could shed weight and cause a fatal accident.

This risk could have major consequences because I was just under the stage set for the activity the next day, Sunday, where the act of completion of the March anniversary organized by APCOM take place.

For this reason we got in touch with your gardening service for urgent action, and proceeded to cut the same Saturday this unique palm leaves the speedometer without its most emblematic example.

Also, next to the Museum of the Festival there are two palm trees of great size and age, one of which is seriously affected by the red palm weevil and the other can too.

Of the bud in soil and fully matured palms shown.

The City knows that in such cases must be removed immediately following strict measures to prevent the spread of the plague, which is not yet done.

We denounce and deplore from the socialist ranks that we have not ignored the City Council, specifically by the Department of Environment.

Since May 2012, before the first issue hit detected, asked for measures in both Motion and Questions and Complaints to the Councillor responsible for preventing the spread of this pest in our area.

We believe that the City has not implemented the protocols provided in the Plan of the Ministry of Agriculture for the control of red palm weevil.

So in November 2012, before the first detection, we asked the Councillor for Environment:

"First census was carried palms, extreme vigilance is recommended and by taking measures to communicate the owners. That to avoid loopholes, is studied and write a specific Municipal Ordinance" RED MEASURES PICUDO.

Also that in order to avoid, first, that singular palm trees in public spaces that are potentially affected establish a specific budget to combat this scourge. "

All this indicates that they have not taken appropriate steps and consequences: The most iconic palm trees in our town, whether public or private, have disappeared or will disappear.

We will request, through a motion, a technical report on the status of the pest is issued, actions taken and planned, as well as the Councillor for the Environment offered in plenary explanations.
