The City Council of Dénia has called, this morning, a press conference to report the status of the beaches right now, after almost 2 months of the devastating Gloria.
The damages, which in January were valued at € 827.000, are gradually being remembered in certain sections of the Dianense coast. Not all, because many still struggle to recover a beach that will hardly be the same as before.
To mitigate the most immediate damage and make it accessible to the bathroom and enjoy again, the City Council has decided to advance € 107.140 that will be requested, subsequently, as a grant to the Ministry of Ecological Transition.
Councilman Beaches, Pepe Doménech, has been showing the current state of each of the beaches on our coast. Most already have a print similar to the one prior to the last DANA. However, there is still work to be done, especially since Bovetes to La Almadrava and part of Deveses, where one of the entrances remains unusable due to a height difference of 2 meters. To this we must add the theme of pipes and lavapiés, which insist that for Easter they will not be operational.
Similarly, it looks like the viewpoint of the Cassiana Marineta, in front of the English Cemetery, will continue on foot during that holiday season. Although everything indicates that it will not be so in summer, since the project is underway to leave the walk straight, keeping the stairs and ramp, but eliminating half of it until there is no semicircle as now.
Several vehicles and workers have been, and are, increasing our coast to recover it from the devastating storm. Up to 25 people were on the busiest days, separated into teams to cover the many kilometers of beach. Thanks to this, the City Council trusts that in Holy Week the Glory is a mere memory.
