WORK STOPS ON THE BRIDGE OVER THE MANILVA RIVER AS CONTRACT COLLAPSES

Work has stopped on the construction  of a new pedestrian bridge over the Manilva River after the company involved terminated the contract.  The Ayuntamiento has claimed that the Qualifica Consortium failed to reach the final deadline for completing the work on the new bridge. Last Saturday was the deadline for completion of the work but the company claimed that because of financial problems it could not finish the job. The Ayuntameinto has rejected pleas for another extension of the deadline and has begun proceedings to reallocate the contract. A budget of 131,000 Euro was allocated for the bridge which will link Casares Costa with Sabinillas.

CASARES APPLIES FOR PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AT CASARES DEL SOL

The ayuntamiento has begun proceedings to instal a new pedestrian crossing between Casares del Sol and Casares Costa. Deputy Mayor Pepe Carrasco held a meeting last week with the head of the Provincial Roads Service to discuss the initiative. The ayuntamiento is arguing that the crossing is necessary because of the increased number of people now living in the area on developments on both sides of the road. The new crossing would allow people to cross the main motorway at the Jardines del Rosario and the filling station.
