On the 10th I was summoned to a meeting at the town hall on an issue as important for the future of Dénia as the General Structural Plan (PGE). To my surprise, at that meeting, to which I was accompanied by Miguel Llobell representing Gent of Dénia, only the external technicians in charge of the participation workshops of the plan attended, but not even the mayoress, Ana KringeOr Urban Planning Councilman Vicent Chelet, nor any official of the Municipal Planning area.
If a municipal government wants to agree on the future urban development of our city, the first thing it has to do is explain its proposal. But if their representatives do not even come to a meeting, it is obviously impossible to reach any agreement or receive any of the explanations that we claim from Center Unificat and Gent de Dénia. The fact that those responsible for local government have not met with us, that we are the third political force in the city, nor with the PSPV, which is the second, can not cause me more than a deep disappointment.
Especially since our training we see very serious deficiencies in the current proposal of the PP. The most striking, that the PGE does not provide a model for the future that will turn Dénia during the next few years into a place of prosperity for its neighbors and businessmen. I do not understand in this sense the hurry that Ana Kringe and Vicent Chelet have to approve this planning that can lead to an untenable mortgage for the future of Dénia when the current Transitory Urbanistic Regime (RUT) is valid for 2017, so there is time to to agree on a more complete proposal.
And there is plenty of evidence that PGE will effectively a tremendous mortgage. For example, because the perimeter round does not provide a new access to the port, which will only develop at a later plan. So, now the end of the round will lead to a genuine funnel at port facilities without our having any guarantee to develop these accesses. What if once you have drawn the round and have generated a legitimate interest thereon, as Costas administration denies us on those proposed accesses to the port plan?
Another example: the PGE contemplates the drawing of new roads but does not mark its width, which will create an enormous insecurity for many citizens who will not know if their houses can be expropriated or how many meters they will be forced to give up. As if that were not enough, the global access to the city is subject precisely to the possible expansion of these roads, which increases the sense of provisionality of the document exposed to the public, which is still at the expense of numerous reports of the Department of Urban Planning and Environment Ambient. Thus, it is evident that a city model can not be defined. This is not the way.
