The Popular Party has requested the Mayor of Arrecife, Enrique Pérez Parrilla, to offer an explanation in the next plenary session of the corporation of what is happening with Urbaser, the company in charge of street cleaning, garbage collection and the maintenance of parks and gardens in the city. And the populars say they find no sense in the measures that the councilor of the Area, Antonio Machín, has taken against the company, with the eviction of workers from the nursery with the presence of Local Police officers.
For the populars, it is surprising that the PIL councilor adopts a decision of this type when, according to the service contract, Urbaser is in charge of managing the nursery. "Even more inexplicable is that the Mayor, Enrique Pérez, attends as a spectator to what is happening and does not report on the reasons that support the actions that the councilor is carrying out, since there is no record of any technical report that questions the way in which Urbaser is providing the service", they point out from the party.
The same accusations have been received from the PNL-NC, which accuses the Arrecife consistory of "harassing" the company Urbaser and even speculates with the possibility that there were interests on the part of the city council to "put the service out to tender and give it to another company".
The consistory denies the conflict
However, the consistory has flatly denied that there is any type of conflict with the company and much less that it is intended to put the management of its services out to tender again. "There is no intention to generate a conflict nor will there be. We have simply asked the company for the keys to some of its warehouses in order to inspect them and assess the state in which the services and facilities are located", declares Antonio Machín, who assures that the only objective of these measures is "to improve the services that are offered".
In addition, the PIL councilor explains that there is still a small debt with the company and that the contract they have with the city council ends in 2013, so it is "impossible that there is the slightest possibility that this company is intended to be removed".
