Cleanliness, the absence of it, is one of the main problems that Ceuta faces.Many times this issue tends to focus on the neighborhoods, but also in the very center of the city there are conflictive situations, as is the case on Calle Alcalde Isidoro Martínez, a road adjoining Calle Real where there is a lot full of rubbish and scrap metal. which they have also established an illegal settlement.The risk of fire in this wasteland full of brush is evident, but there is also a neighborhood unrest in the entire environment, since the streets that follow Isidoro Martínez, Pasaje del Recreo Bajo and Pasaje del Recreo Central, are also suffering from a serious problem. of garbage accumulation.'Isidoro Martínez' is one of the roads that branches off right at the final stretch of Calle Real, on the straight from Plaza de Azcárate.This narrow street, through which cars can pass, has several blocks of flats and right on the corner there is a vacant lot surrounded by a wall.But the fact that it is closed has not prevented it from becoming a landfill for many people for years, as El Faro has been able to verify, since mattresses, electrical appliances, furniture and all kinds of dirt accumulate among the undergrowth.Added to all this is now a small 'chiringuito' that a group of young people have set up to hang out.The annoyance does not have to do with the noise but with the danger that this settlement has where if they smoke or leave butts or more waste it can ignite the spark in an area that is surrounded by bushes and weeds, in addition to a palm tree in poor condition that it covers the visibility of the neighbors of the block in front of Monte Hacho.The risk of fire (as happened years ago in this same space) and that the environment continues to be damaged is palpable and this has been made known by several neighbors, who have alerted the Local Police that young people use a ladder and a chair to get in and out of this plot and make life there in the small hut.For now, the City has not responded to these demands, despite the fact that it has been denounced that there are even young people with the appearance of minors who are part of this group of intermittent 'squatters'.All this while the fenced and unbuilt land continues to receive garbage, since the wall hits with some containers that are often not used but there are uncivil neighbors who, if they are full of garbage, throw their waste over the wall.In fact, yesterday morning this newspaper was able to pick up the street full of garbage because on Sunday night there was no garbage collection on this road.Of course, after a while a truck of Trace workers came to take away the remains and clean up the area, where there are some stains due to the waste that form a not very pleasant landscape with the graffiti that can be seen on the wall that protects the solar.Also, very close to the area is a long-abandoned vehicle that is also a wheelie dump.Another small neighborhood annoyance to add to the catalog of concerns.The residents of the Pasaje Recreo area denounce the dirt and bad smellsJust as serious as that of 'Isidoro Martínez' is the neighborhood problem a few meters away in the adjoining streets Pasaje Recreo Bajo and Central through which the neighborhood of Recinto de Ceuta is ascended.Thus, three houses beyond the site, on the next corner, the oil and liquid garbage stains reveal that there is a cleaning issue that affects the residents of nearby homes.Specifically, the neighbors complain that since there is work in the street, the garbage truck has to go in reverse – there are nights when it does not even do so – which causes the remains to accumulate on the same sidewalk.Some of the people who live in the place criticize that the local government neglects this street where many children and elderly people live in houses that sometimes have to close windows tightly so that the smell does not enter, with the consequent damage in a hot season like summer.The problem has persisted for months and there have been many calls to 112 Emergencies and directly to Trace to take care of the dirt that sometimes piles up.Also, street repair work has caused rats or other vermin to be found on the street at times.The stench on Monday morning was noticeable with excrement lying on the ground and other debris after Sunday's festive night.In addition, the fact that the garbage truck has little room for maneuver in this corner of Pasaje del Recinto has meant that the 'little mess' of garbage is embedded in the asphalt with dangerous stains on the road for motorcycles or bicycles. who want to go downhill.City workers yesterday removed part of the waste without completely completing it since there are even broken containers.However, a resident of the area told El Faro that it is not only a problem of lack of municipal attention but that the incivility of some people aggravates the situation by throwing garbage at unauthorized times or throwing it out of the deposits.To the point that they put up a sign with the hours to throw garbage, which was immediately torn down.In short, two problems of dirt and abandonment in this area very close to Calle Real and that are affecting the daily life of the residents, who are concerned about the cleanliness of the area around their homes.Your email address will
