Calp town hall has announced the calendar of activities planned for 2023 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the emblematic building the Red Wall, although the ultimate goal is to recognise the entire architectural complex of La Manzanera designed by the Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill.
Calp will have a day centre for dependent elderly and a centre for Alzheimer's patients. This was agreed this morning by the Mayor of Calp Ana Sala and the General Director of Infrastructures, Enric Juan Alcocer, in a meeting that was also attended by the Councillor for Social Affairs, Noelia Císcar. These facilities are part of the Valencian Social Services Infrastructure Plan "Convivint" to be implemented in the period 2021-2025.
The second edition of the Dry-Stone Workshop, organised by the MACMA's Culture and Heritage Department and Xarxa Jove, begins next Saturday. Calp is hosting the first day of this course, which will be attended by 30 young people from Marina Alta.
The course in the double-sided wall speciality will start in Calp with a theoretical session held at the Casa de Cultura and another practical session held on the well-known Camí Vell from Calp to Moraira, a municipal area next to Las Salinas. The course will continue on subsequent weekends in Orba and Castell de Castells.
Calp Town Council aims to promote the town as a tourist destination adapted to all people with disabilities. For this reason, it is working on a Tourism Accessibility Plan to identify the existing accessible tourist offer as well as the deficiencies that may exist in this area with the aim of being able to correct them.
The aim is that the tourist offer of Calp is adapted to all people with any type of disability, whether visual, auditory, cognitive or movement.
The Seu Universitaria Casa Nova today hosted the presentation of the event "Sport Tourism Focus Calpe 2021", a meeting held both in person and by streaming to discuss the possibilities of sports tourism as a driver of the post-pandemic economy. The conference is organised by the Calp Town Council's Tourism Department, Casa Nova de Calp College, the University of Alicante, the Costa Blanca Sports Tourism Association and the Provincial Tourist Board.
The Calp Plenary has approved, with the only votes in favour of the government team (PP - Ciudadanos), the tender for the service contract for the collection and transport of solid waste and street cleaning of the municipality. This is one of the city's most important contracts, worth €44,811,285.20 for a total term of nine years.
This item, the most important on the agenda, provoked a great debate among the municipal groups.
Last May, Calp Town Council agreed with the GAMASER laboratory, Global Omnium (which includes Aguas de Calpe -the waterworks-), to carry out a series of wastewater samples that will allow the implementation of a method for epidemiological surveillance through the analysis of wastewater. The aim is to know the presence, concentration and evolution of genomic units of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, which causes the disease COVID-19.
In the plenary session of the first approval of the budget, the Calp municipal government announced its intention to implement an active employment policy through a local employment plan. It was reported in the plenary session that the request for non-duplication of powers had been submitted before the Generalitat.
This procedure was decided this week, giving Calp City Council a free hand to develop the Local Employment Plan, which will eventually be endowed with 1 million euros from the surplus.
