DEADLINE GIVEN FOR COMPLETION OF THE BRIDGE LINKING MANILVA WITH CASARES

The Ayuntamiento has given a new deadline of mid November for the completion of work on the new bridge linking Manilva with Casares. The ultimatum was given to the company awarded the contract, Vallejo Aplicaciones and they have agreed to finish the original design. The Mayor of Casares Antonia Morera recently expressed her disquiet at the delay in completing the work which was caused by the company changing the design of the boardwalk. The company failed to meet the original deadline and was warned by the ayuntamiento that they were in breach of contract. Mayor Morera has said she hoped the work will now be speedily finished as the bridge is eagerly awaited by the residents of Casares Costa and Sabinillas.
