The municipal group Dianense Bloc-Coalició Compromís It intends that the AP-7 highway be free for citizens and expects that the tolls will be discussed at the next ordinary plenary session. To do this, they presented a motion yesterday to the City of Dénia in which they propose a party agreement.
The first point of the motion is the pronouncement of the Plenary Session of the City Council for the release of the section of the AP-7 that runs through the Valencian territory. The second point speaks of the beginning of a campaign to gather support from other municipalities and important personalities, as well as, from the beginning of an agenda of meetings, by the mayor's office, with the different competent bodies, such as the Ministry of Development, the Generalitat Valenciana or the concessionaire company itself. Finally, the motion emphasizes the posterior obligation of the consistory to provide a part of the fulfillment of these agreements within a maximum period of two months after its approval.
The former mayor and secretary general of BLOC in Dénia, Sebastià García reported that following the rising toll one 7,5% and its forecast rise 15% before early 2013, the Generalitat Valenciana should consider the idea of freeing the highway or take rise from your institution, as has happened in the Catalan Generalitat. For Garcia, this rise further harming the miscommunication that has Dénia with provincial capitals that are equidistant: Alicante and Valencia. "We are best connected with Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera, with the rest of our community," said the politician.
"A lack of good transportation alternative, adds García, the rise of the highway causes restriction that route many citizens who have to use roads more risk and increase the added cost of many own products that will increase your prices to cover rising transportation. In addition, the lack of transportation for all harms local businesses, which will cut the number of visitors to our city, and the port of Denia increasingly have fewer shipments since, people prefer to travel to the Balearic Islands from Valencia since the Dianium, to save the number of highway toll. "
If toll prices rise more to Denia, fewer people will go and those who live in Denia will go less to Alicante and Valencia. Currently it costs half to take the bus as it does to take the car to Valencia if you travel alone - not including parking in Valencia!
