The city of Calpe is working on a Plan de Ciudad Amigable with the elderly. To this end, it has carried out an ambitious process of civic participation in which older people from the community have participated in 8 workshops.
At the end of the workshops, more than 250 proposals were collected in areas such as transport, housing, health, participation and social services. These actions will be examined by a technical team to explore the possibility and include them in the Action Plan.
The city decides to change the building parameters in the sectors Fossa, Morelló, Ifach and Saladar.
In today's plenary session, the start of the Strategic Environmental Assessment process for the selective modification of the PGOU (Land Use Plan) of the urban areas Morelló, Ifach, La Fossa and Saladar was decided. The process should establish new parameters that determine the type and volume of development in these sectors. The decision allows new building permits to be issued shortly. They have not been granted since last July.
Ana Sala, the mayor of the city, and several city councils met with municipal technicians from different departments involved in the implementation of the Edusi strategy "Revitaliza Calpe" to analyse the situation of each of the projects collected under the strategy.
