CASARES MAYOR PRESSES FOR ACTION OVER THE BRIDGE AT THE MANILVA RIVER

Casares Mayor Antonia Morera has requested an urgent meeting with the Junta de Andalusia to finish work on the bridge over the Manilva river which will link Sabinillas and Casares Costa. The project ran into trouble late last year when the consortium building the bridge failed to meet deadlines. Now Mayor Morera wants the Junta to intervene to finish the work before any political changes which might further delay it. She fears that changes in the political direction of the Tourism Council might cause the project to be put on the long finger. The Mayor said that residents are anxious to have the bridge completed and she regrets that the Town Hall can do nothing more to expedite the work.
