CLR, LA REGIA AND CALA MOSCA

Listen to this article

CLR and Pedro Mancebo are committed to improving the area of La Regia which has for a very long time been neglected. Last summer Pedro Mancebo applied to the roads department of Alicante for permission to build the footbridge at La Regia.

Now that the permission has been finally granted the CLR councillor said that he “was extremely happy and satisfied that the project for the footbridge that he had prepared along with the budget he had allocated for it, is at last going to be put in place”.

This pedestrian bridge was to provide a very necessary safe crossing and was one of Pedro Mancebo’s CLR main initiatives for the area. It is a much needed and demanded infrastructure of high importance to the safety and comfort of residents and visitors alike.

La Regia Park has been much in the news over the last four years and is seen by many as a prime example of coastal neglect and an unfulfilled promise by the previous PP government of Monica Lorente. Last year Pedro Mancebo applied to the roads department for a change of the roads layout in the La Regia area and commissioned a project on behalf of the town hall for the improvement of this large park in three phases.

The initial project design details for phase one was completed in December 2012 and included preliminary works that needed to be completed before the beautifying of the green area could begin. This first stage of the project included the changing of the road layout to make it safe by replacing some severe road bends and the dangerous pedestrian paths.

The project also includes a superb drainage system and will move the football pitches to a higher level and will create an open air auditorium in that location.

The cost for this project as calculated by a top civil engineering company from Orihuela is 245,300€. Pedro Mancebo’s CLR had planned on channelling some of the money from the sale of coastal land into completing this vital stage for the improvement of La Regia Park.

CLR also wanted to build a new footbridge at Alameda del Mar in Cala Mosca area where there is no safe way to cross from one side of the N332 to the other.

Mancebo is very concerned about the risk to life at this very dangerous point especially as many visitors from the UK and Ireland tend to look right when crossing the road whereas in Spain they need to look left. Mancebo has proposed that while the budget for this vital work was found that pedestrian traffic lights could be put in place at a very low cost.

Having received many questions in relation to the presence of disused cranes and empty building structures at Cala Mosca and at abandoned sites all over Orihuela Costa he is embarking on a course of action to resolve these unsightly and sometimes dangerous eyesores.

Pedro continues to look after the interests of the people of Orihuela Costa and had he not been ousted by the Greens and the PSOE more improvements instigated by him would have seen their way to fruition. For Pedro the fight goes on regardless.
