Calp City Council and the contracted company Pavapark reached an agreement this morning to partially remove the regulated parking service on public roads in the blue zone from 5pm to 8pm. Thus, as of this afternoon, the blue zone service will only be effective from 9am to 2pm.
For the past few weeks, the city and the company have been studying various formulas to exempt citizens from paying the ORA after the new restrictions against COVID-19 came into effect on Thursday, 21 January, stipulating the closure of shops from 6pm followed by the closure of the public house.
The mayor of Calp, Ana Sala, has sent a letter to the president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, making all municipal human and material resources available to the regional government as part of the vaccination campaign against Covid19.
The letter states that the municipality will provide sports pavilions, sports facilities, cultural spaces and public car parks so that the citizens of Calpe can go to be vaccinated with the guarantee that the necessary security spaces will be maintained, or even that they can be vaccinated without having to leave their vehicles.
The local police of Calp issued a total of 27 reports for non-compliance with the COVID-19 prevention measures from 1 January to 2 February.
Specifically, 13 charges were filed for non-compliance or improper use of the mask, 9 charges for violation of the restriction of movement at night, 1 charge for violation of the extraordinary closing hours of the catering and hospitality industry and 4 charges for violation of hygiene and prevention measures involving less than 15 people. In the latter case, it was the celebration of a birthday in the Hermitage area.
Aguas de Calpe is carrying out rehabilitation works on the sewage pumping station in Avenida del Port. The cost of the works is 80,754.55 € and the duration of the works will be two months.
This action completes the sewerage network of the access area to the fishing port after the collapse of a section of the collector recorded last March.
The rehabilitation works consist of adapting the connections of the four inlet collectors to the pumping station by building a new pumping chamber. This will require the demolition of the current cottage.
The Department of Tourism of Calp City Council has launched a campaign to promote responsible and sustainable tourism in the city. The initiative, which is aimed at residents, businessmen, and tourists, is therefore intended to raise awareness of the importance of sustainable tourism as a pathway for the economic, social, and cultural development of the city.
Calp City Council joins the Plan Resiste promoted by the Generalitat Valenciana and allocates €231,783.3 to it, which represents 15% of the total and complements the 62.5% provided by the Generalitat and 22.5% contributed by the provincial administration.
Calp City Council, as part of the objectives of the Citizen Participation Department, has commissioned the development of a telematic survey to find out citizens' perceptions of key municipal services.
The intention is that citizens will transmit their views on the process of services provided by the municipality and that this information will serve as a barometer to analyze the current situation, make a diagnosis and from there develop proposals to improve the municipality's services.
Calp and Pavapark are studying how to relieve citizens from paying the ORA parking fee from 18:00 after the coming into force last Thursday 21 January of the new restrictions against COVID-19, which mandate the closure of businesses from that time.
