Fine of EUR 75.000 Dénia for installing the gateway Albaranas-Bassetes

Although the resolution is last March, the City Council has not yet faced the payment of a fine of EUR 75.000 for the installation of a wooden walkway connecting the beach of Albaranas with Les Bassetes.

During his visit to Dénia, the provincial director of coasts, Rosa de los Rios, he reminded the mayor to be paid by 75.239 euros after the High Court dismissed the appeal filed by the City.

The facts date back to 2010 when the consistory installed the wooden walkway connecting the Albaranes and Bassetes beaches thanks to 150.000 euros investment financed entirely by the Ministry of Tourism in the Litoral Prestige Plan of Valencia.

In November 2011, Director of Sustainability of the Coast and Sea Environment Ministry he decided disciplinary proceedings against the City Council Dénia for installing this gateway in the public domain sea-land when considered a serious offense. The City Council appealed but was dismissed.
