"No project was presented in conditions". Such confidence mayor showed Dénia, Vicent GrimaltWhen he began to explain the state in which are the fourteen projects that Denia Plan Trust intends to execute before the deadline.
According to the mayor, "we have run everything we could"But "lack of seriousness and will of the previous government team" It has caused the city reaches this point, with some projects with deficiencies that have not been modified by the City and negotiating with the Department that the only condition for receiving these funds is that projects have begun before the end of 2016 (not then it ended as at present).
The Mayor explained that the first surprise they took was heard in Consellería that the projects presented were unchanged from January, at which time they were paralyzed until the talks were resumed with the new government in June .
Today, Friday, November 13, the Ministry of Infrastructure has received part of these already modified projects, specifically the redevelopment of C/San Francisco, the improvements in lighting and signage in the castle, the redevelopment of Camino del Cementerio, the redevelopment of Colón Street, the Archduque Carlos Square and the rehabilitation of the old fish market.
The other projects, including lighting and energy improvement in the sports hall, lighting in Joan Fuster and the burial of collection points in Jesus Pobre, will be presented next week at the Territorial Directorate of Alicante.
What does this all mean?
That the dates will be very fair: the 13 of December will be approved by the Consellería, and two months later, the 13 of February, will be published in the DOCV. It is expected that in July the works will be awarded, and it will be in mid-September when they begin to run.
In theory, to receive money from the Trust Plan, the works should be finished the 31 December 2016, but aware that managing the actual dates, meet these deadlines will be virtually impossible, the City has achieved the commitment of the consellería that in this case the condition to be fulfilled is that the works have started before that date.
Projects in the air: traffic lights crossing Joan Fuster and bus station
Of the fourteen projects he wants Dénia, there are two that are unclear at this time for different reasons. One, the project of the new bus station, the final location is still undecided. The government team has to make a decision during this next week to meet deadlines, and are still exploring several options including Avenida Miguel Hernández and Maritime station.
The other project is the traffic light crossing the street Joan Fuster with Diana, a project that will not succeed if the Department does not accept the amendments proposed by the City Council to converting a roundabout junction that is crossed by the railroad.
The City Council will negotiate with the Department change the project and have already announced that if they do not accept, not semaforización be held. Mayor commitment "do things right" and not to invest public money in a solution is not final
LONG LIVE THE DISTRUST PLAN! Ha! Gentlemen, the impression that I get from all this is that it would be better to sell the entire town to Mr. Balearia and that they were the ones who would carry out all the works. It would take less time and it would be cheaper. Have you realized how well the works and reforms of the private sector are going compared to the public? Thanks to the private investment in a matter of a few months we will have a totally new promenade in the port area. In the meantime, unfortunately, the works of the "distrust" plan will follow not very agile procedures that will lead to Denia, as of September 2016, with the start of the works, looking more like a Gruyère cheese, than that of that tourist destination for cruises that they have tried to sell us. Since construction on all of these projects is due to begin between September and December 2016, almost at the same time, prepare to live in chaos and quagmire. Mr. Balearia have mercy on us!
