MAYOR SIGNS INVESTMENT PLAN WORTH 230,000 EURO FOR CASARES

Mayor Antonia Morera yesterday signed an investment plan that will bring 230,000 Euro to Casares. She went to the Malaga Council to sign off on the plan. The budget will be divided between Casares, Secadero and Casares Costa. In Casares the money will finance new street sanitation. For Casares Costa the money will be used to repave the roadway at Bahia de Casares. And in Secadero the extra money will be used to modernise services on Calle Guadiaro.

MAYOR MORERA CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR TOURISM

Casares Mayor Antonia Morera has called on the Spanish Government to honour its commitment to investment in tourism improvements. In particular she wants the government to contribute to the Qualifica programme which it has ignored since 2012. The Mayor called on the mayors of the eight municipalities which make up the coastline of the Costa del Sol to put pressure on the government to meet its commitments. The Qualifica programme has helped fund the building of Calle Camacha in Casares, as well as the bridge over Arroyo La Jordana and the Manilva river. There are fears that the Ayuntamientos will be left with the outstanding bills for the programme if the central government does not pay its contribution.

TEN WORKERS HIRED BY CASARES COSTA FOR NEW PROJECTS

Casares Costa has hired ten new workers as part of its employment plan. The workers, two labourers, two stonemasons, two people from the over 30’s  programme and four other young people, have been taken on for projects at Casares Costa. Three include the expansion of the Jardines del Rosario, with a new recreation area,  sports facilities and a dog park. Mayor Antonia Morera said that the project will include a mini baseball field and a mini golf area. The Mayor said that progress is continuing on completion of the sports complex at Casares Costa where the paddle tennis facilities are almost finished. The Mayor is also hoping that the bridge over the Manilva river will be completed after work was held up because of a breach of contract by the construction company.

MAYOR SIGNS AGREEMENT FOR REMODELLING OF THE PLAZA DEL LLANO

Mayor Antonia Morera this week signed an agreement with the representative of Public Works and Housing at the Junta de Andalucia for subsidising work on the remodelling of the Plaza del Llano. The project has a budget of around 200,000 Euro and will involve changing the square and linking it with the Marcelino Camacho square. The Ayuntamiento has been working on funding for the work for over a year and this week the Junta has agreed to fund 80 per cent of the work, while the Ayuntamiento will fund the remaining 20 per cent. The project will involve a total remodelling of the traffic lay out which will mean fewer vehicles in the square.

CASARES MAYOR ANTONIA MORERA WILL NOT RUN IN THE LOCAL ELECTIONS

Casares Mayor Antonia Morera has announced that will not stand for the position in the forthcoming local elections. The Izquierda Unida member said she is proud of the trust that the people of Casares have placed in her in the past and also proud of  the people who have supported her during her term. She said she has decided to stand down because she believes that the role of a public representative should not last indefinitely. The outgoing Mayor said the time is right for a regeneration of the party and for new candidates to come forward for selection. The Izquierda Unida will now begin a canvas of its supporters to select a new candidate for the post.
