Emergency Date

A tender to finish the uncompleted Emergency Centre at La Zenia is set to be advertised in September, with the aim for work to be finished by the end of next years. The announcement came from the head of the Valencian emergency and safety agency, José María Ángel, who visited the abandoned site at La Zenia last week.

Ángel met with Orihuela mayor, Emilio Bascuñana to talk about completing the project which was halted six years ago when the construction firm went bust. Earlier this year(and as previously reported in The Courier), Orihuela opposition socialist PSOE councillors said that work at La Zenia was going to resume after the readvertising of the tender which would be on a lower budget than the original two million euro project.

José María Ángel said that further meetings would take place soon with Orihuela officials and that he wanted the Emergency Centre to “be a reality as soon as possible” and that the Valencian government had allocated one point two million euros for the work to be done.
