Fuengirola council launches anti piracy campaign

Andrew Belles — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 12:21:24 +0000

Whether its counterfeit DVDs or fake designer sun glasses, people selling pirate goods has grown exponentially in recent years. Now, in an attempt to stop this trend, Fuengirola Town Hall has developed a pioneering public awareness campaign, aimed at discouraging the public from buying these goods.

Many of the people selling these goods, are not only a detriment to local businesses who have all the overheads that any shop/business would have, but also feeds and illegal industry with strong ties to both drug and people trafficking.

Having many street hawkers selling illegal goods also helps create a negative image of the surrounding area that can be detrimental to the local tourist industry and dampens the creations of new jobs.

The 3 main political parties (Partido Popular, PSOE and Izquierda Unida) have, after the last Town Hall meeting, agreed to urge Renfe, the Junta de Andalucia’s Public Works department and the Ministry of Development in Madrid to make the necessary changes, to improve the accessibility of the main train stations in Fuengirola.

The Renfe ‘Cercanias’ train stations in Torreblanca, Carvajal and Los Boliches do not have the right facilities in place for those with limited mobility.

Fuengirola continues to lead Malaga province in the amount of paper, plastic and glass that is recycled per capita, based on the statistics supplied by the Town hall.

The Fuengirola Town Hall has been running several awareness campaigns to highlight not only the environmental benefits attached to recycling but also the financial benefits of separating rubbish prior to treatment.

Not only should the town hall be praised, but also local schools which have who have promoted green themes amongst the local children.

The Town Hall has confirmed that is has requested another meeting with the Junta de Andalucia’s Head of Public works to speed up the expansion plans of the town’s leisure marina.

“Should they give us the administrative authorisation to push the project forward, it could become a reality within the current legislature,” said the Town Planning Councillor and Deputy Mayor, Ana Mula.

The proposed expansion would allow Fuengirola port to accommodate large cruise ships. “This would be a huge advantage for the town, as it would allow thousands of people to stop off in the heart of the Costa del Sol, with all the consequent benefits for local businesses that would bring,” added Mula.

Probisa to take over widening of Fuengirola – Mijas road

Andrew Belles — Mon, 30 May 2011 12:21:55 +0000

According to reports, the construction company, Probisa, has taken over the contract to widen the one kilometre stretch of the Fuengirola – Mijas road, after workers from the previous company stopped work last week after claiming they have not been paid in full for several months. As reported in a previous article, approximately 40,000 vehicles use the stretch of road every day and since the works began and a bridge was removed, drivers in both directions have had to use a series of diversions. This is only expected to get worse as the high season approaches.

Pay dispute halts widening of Mijas – Fuengirola road

Andrew Belles — Mon, 23 May 2011 16:20:14 +0000

In recent days, works on the busy one kilometre stretch of the Mijas-Fuengirola road near the A-7 exit have come to a stop.

According to the trade union Comisions Obreras de Malaga, workers on the site have downed tolls following the contractor, Profasán’s, “liquidity problems” which has resulted in their members not having been paid their full salary in several months.

The A-387, which joins Mijas and Fuengirola, is used by more than 40,000 people each day. Since the project began and a bridge was removed, drivers heading to Mijas from Fuengirola have had to use a diversion through the El Lagarejo urbanisation; while those heading to Fuengirola from Mijas currently need to get on the A-7 motorway to access the town centre. Not only is it inconvenient, but could get even worse as the summer approaches. It is hoped that the Fuengirola and Mijas town halls will be able to help settle the matter.
