La lack of police presence It is another complaint of the Association, "The lack of agents is hurting us in several issues. We live in a situation of continuous insecurity with the burning of vehicles that also occurs in a street where there is an exit. We want more vigilance so that this does not happen and that Fray Jaime Street is opened Ibáñez ", revindicate businessmen and merchants and clarify that the rotary parking system is not effective because there are also no agents to monitor the time control, "The signals were installed, the clock was distributed, but there is no one to monitor if it is met and the excuse is that there are not enough agents", insists the collective.

Also, on the tourist trenet, businessmen reported that "We do not want to be harmed by the change that this tourist transport circulates through the historic center.
