The Partido Popular party in Bigastro will request the resignation of the mayor, Joaquin Moya at the next plenary session of the Council. They claim that the system for collecting rainwater has been badly managed causing the flooding of two car parks and many houses at the weekend. Aurelio Murcia, from the PP party, says that this shows the mayor is not capable of leading the Town Council.
The meeting of the PP on Monday night called for a press conference for those affected by flooding as a result of the heavy rain last Saturday. The PP party also decided to study all the possible routes by which they could obtain assistance for those who suffered damage.
The Town Council promised that work, both before and after the local council elections to remodel the rain drainage system at a cost of 18 million euros, would prevent flooding in the town. Aurelio Murcia claimed that the town was worse of now than before works commenced. He pointed out that in spite of having only half the normal rain in August, the town has suffered more serious flooding than in previous years. The grids across the roads and the drainage pipes, which were designed to take flood water, simply failed.
