The Municipal Group has learned another case of "red beetle" in Caravaca, on a plot located between the urbanization of Carrascal and sources of the Marquis, where another palm greatly affected by this bug.
This shows that the plague is spreading through the town, when they still have not taken specific measures by the council to prevent progapación of this pest, although as we announced earlier on another note, I have been saying this since last May.
Therefore, given the seriousness of this pest, it must take extreme measures.
According to Alfonso Sanchez said, from the socialist ranks are taking several initiatives, in addition to the motions filed.
Specifically we'll make a plea in which: "we urge the Department of Environment to communication without waiting for individuals, make a first census of palms (which you can do with a digital flight), is the greatest vigilance and communicate the actions to be taken by the owners. "Also," to avoid loopholes, since there is no mandatory legislation at the regional, or local, beyond protocol recommendations, we will promote an Ordinance Municipal specific measures against red palm weevil. "However, we reiterate that it must act now with the first treatments so try to establish, as already announced, a budget ahead of the Budget for the year 2013, Since this year and for the first time will be discussed and agreed by next December, to be put in place preventive treatments to avoid, first, that they are unique palms in public spaces may be affected.
