The absence of lighting on Berlin Street, specifically between the Las Retamas car park and the vicinity of X-Madrid, has caused renewed discontent among Alcorcón residents. Neighbors report that the area remains dark for several hours, especially on weekends, contributing to a heightened sense of insecurity. This situation is not new, and there have been reports of attempted robberies in nearby community storage rooms.
Social media has become the main channel for citizens to express their dissatisfaction, directing their criticism at the Local Police, the City Council, and public companies responsible for urban services. Although the problem has been ongoing for years, residents demand a definitive solution to end the recurring blackouts.
“"The lighting in that area is not their responsibility, but rather that of the Parque Oeste Compensation Board."
ESMASA, the municipal services company, has stated that the responsibility for lighting in that area falls to the Parque Oeste Compensation Board. This declaration highlights a conflict of competencies that has persisted over time, preventing either party from assuming full responsibility and prolonging a situation that residents consider unsustainable.
The lack of agreement between the responsible entities directly impacts citizens, who are the main affected parties. The absence of light not only hinders mobility and reduces quality of life but also increases the risk of criminal acts, leaving Berlin Street in darkness and its residents suffering the consequences.
