I have listed below the programme for this years Fiesta. I have also included the new Mayors opening statement included in the Fiesta programme for your information.
Esteemed neighbours, colleagues and friends,
It is a privilege for me to address you myself, for the first time since taking over as Mayor, on behalf of all my colleagues in the Town Hall and myself as I invite you to celebrate the fiestas in honour of the Virgen del Carmen, our beloved Patron.
After two years of being unable to celebrate this event, due to the pandemic, we are anxious to once again celebrate and enjoy time with our family, friends and colleagues by leaving behind this difficult time. A time during which we confronted an unknown situation and which today we continue to deal with and struggle to overcome by way of responsibility and common sense.
I would like to take this opportunity to remember all those who are no longer with us and to send a warm greeting to those who will not be able to accompany us this year.
We await with emotion the launch of the rocket fireworks which indicate the beginning of our fiestas, which this year, due to the long wait has increased our anticipation and enthusiasm in organising it. We are sure you will love and enjoy the many cultural activities, sports, some great orchestras and some surprises, which I cannot reveal at this moment in time!
The current administration has one year left and I promise you that I will do what seems impossible and complete everything that we promised during our electoral campaign.
We have conducted a new calculation system for IBI values for properties, which will translate into considerable reductions to some properties and also some rustic lands.
The installation of the energy efficient public lighting, which has already been granted, is being carried out as part of the energy efficiency plan approved to the sum of €400,000.
The provisional resolution for the restoration of the clock tower and its surroundings has been approved.
We are continuing the work in carrying out and developing the PGOU for the corresponding area in La Alfoquia, more specifically sectors AF18 and 19, which are very consolidated at this moment.
We are developing a new industrial estate near the motorway which has already been initiated.
We have asked for subsidies/grants to assist with the remedial works needed in the area of Jardines del Almanzora following the heavy rains in March.
We have contracted to build a new wall in the Bojas.
We have requested a grant/subsidy of €800,000 from the NEX Generation Funds to finish the rehabilitation of the mill and convert it into an ethnographic museum.
We are collaborating with the extension of the Virgen del Carmen church in Alfoquia which will begin shortly and which the TH has contributed €25,000 in order for the works to start.
We are carrying out works at the Railway station and have finished the work on the Renfe Cocheron and we are now adapting a section of the railway to be used as a tourist route as well as purchasing a locomotive to incorporate in the rehabilitation.
I hope that these works and actions will be remembered as we are able to reconvene our marvellous fiestas.
Have a great time and let us all enjoy a marvellous time together.
Happy Fiestas
