Costas invests 205.000 euros in repairing the damage caused by the stormy Gloria
The Government delegate in the Valencian Community, Gloria Calero, accompanied by the Government sub-delegate in Alicante, Araceli Poblador, visited Dénia on Tuesday to learn about the work that Costas is carrying out on the beaches of the municipality to alleviate the damage caused by the storm Gloria .
Accompanied by the mayor of Dénia, Vicent Grimalt, the Beaches councilor, Pepe Doménech and the councilors of the government team Javier Scotto and Óscar Mengual, the Government delegate visited some areas of Les Rotes such as Punta Negra, the Les Rotes ravine , next to the Sendra restaurant, and the Paseo de la Marineta Cassiana.
The Government delegate recalled that the investment allocated by the ministry to these repair works in Dénia is 205.000 euros and that the performances will be finished for the start of the summer season on July 1. Calero also indicated that "everything is being arranged in a very natural way, giving back to the sea what is his and recovering spaces for people".
As reported by the head of the Alicante Provincial Coastal Service, Rosa de los Ríos, the emergency works carried out are the repair of flaws on the Les Rotes promenade; the sealing of cavities caused by sea erosion and aggravated by the last storm on the Punta Negra beach and the recovery of the maritime-terrestrial public domain by removing all concrete elements in the Les Rotes ravine, "gaining space towards the sea".
Also, the demolition of the viewpoint of the Marineta Cassiana promenade located in front of the English Cemetery, which was damaged by the passage of Gloria, is being carried out, which will allow "return space to this beach", and, finally, the recirculation of the sand that with the storm reached the mouth of the Racons river and that is now being recovered to make a dune cord that protects the Les Deveses beach from the storms. On this beach, Rosa de los Ríos has indicated, before the state of alarm the scattered debris removal work had already been carried out.
