Completed but not open

The Partido Popular in Biagastro want to know why the cost of building the new car park on Calle La Paz has overrun by 800,000€. The original budget was for 1,703,000€. The increase is therefore in the order of 46%. Legally, the Council have to call a plenary session to ratify any increase of costs that exceed 20% .

Aurelio Murcia, spokesperson for the PP, argues that it is too late to call such a meeting when the work is 99% complete. He also asks how can the company responsible for the construction, La Generala, justify this increase and more to the point where are the Council going to find the money to pay it.

In the meantime, La Generala refuses to hand over the keys and the car park remains closed just like the new San José de Calasanz school.
