In addition to unhealthiness, the residents of San Martín de la Vega have been without electricity for more than a week at night in some streets because rats have eaten the wiring of the streetlights.
Specifically, the plague of rats has been rampant in the streets Rodrigo de Triana and Benito Pérez Galdos and they have eaten the electrical wiring of several streetlights, meaning that they did not work at night and the streets remained dark, reports Telemadrid. .
The neighbors reported it to the City Council, but while the technicians reviewed what happened and the workers repaired the damage, more than a week has passed.
The City Council had recently installed new lighting, within the redevelopment project of Ramón y Cajal street and its surroundings. Some streets have also been resurfaced and sidewalks have been improved.
Some neighbors say that rodents were seen entering through the sewers. These are single-family homes on the ground floor and some older neighbors like Toñi were "afraid" to leave their house because there were "many rats." Others believed it was a functional problem since they were new, but they have discovered that the electrical wiring of some streetlights had been eaten by rodents.
