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.
