The City Council values in 1.200.000 euros the damages of Gloria
This morning, the mayor of Dénia, Vicent Grimalt, together with the councilors Pepe Doménech, of Playas, and Javier Scotto, of Citizen Protection, have made the balance of damage that has caused the stormy Gloria and the maritime storm of the last week.
Although they have warned that the figure is an approximate estimate, they confirm that they will continue unexpectedly, this amounts to more than 1.200.000 euros. This has been sent to the Subdelegation of Government so that today it is part of the points of the Council of Ministers, with the hope that they decide the contribution of aid to face the regeneration of Dénia.
Grimalt has pointed out that the figure "is not exaggerated" since, luckily or unfortunately, the city does not have a seafront promenade, in addition to the Marineta Cassiana, just in the area less affected by the storm.
Works to return to normal
The major work to be done is in the matter of cleaning to return the beaches and their entrances to their site, especially on the coast of Les Marines, where the main entrances are almost open for next week to begin work in the sand.
Of this figure presented to the Government, 262.000 euros are for the cleaning tasks in which they have required the hiring of two external companies since the workers were overwhelmed. To this is added 75.000 euros for the destruction of the Diego Mena and El Rodat field, among others, 42.000 euros to repair or replace the damaged signage, 120.000 euros in traffic lights and lighting, 40.000 euros of garbage removal, and a long etcetera between roads, trees and damage to municipal buildings.
Scotto thanks its work to workers and volunteers
Scotto, meanwhile, wanted to thank the work of the various security devices, underlining the work of Civil Protection and Red Cross volunteers who have been helping for 310 hours. The councilor has pointed out that part of the good work done is thanks to the forecast they had thanks to the 112 notice with which they were able to prepare the emergency device.
