Benitachell Council is planning a ‘poble NOU (NEW town)’

 

Benitachell Council is planning a ‘poble NOU (NEW town)’ which focuses on creating people-friendly spaces and transforming the town centre into an attractive place to live and for business activity.

Ten days ago, the mayor and councillors presented at a public exhibition the six projects that will be undertaken in the town in the next months to achieve this 'new paradigm of our town'. They are making: 

  1. Calle La Pau and Mayor: streets to live in, with limited traffic movement. 
  2. A Market Hall with bar facilities and spaces to meet 
  3. A pleasant square in front of the Market Hall 
  4. A renovated and modern school for our children 
  5. The Square Pesqueres (with the Health Centre to one side) made a place to meet and for children to play
  6. An environmentally designed new carpark to the side of the cemetery.

Benitachell will never be a pretty village, but these changes (with many trees and other greenery) will make it much safer for young and old, more pleasant and with opportunities to sit in the sun or shade.

For those of us who live outside the village, what are the issues? Access into the village will be restricted and through traffic discouraged. This means limited routes for those who live in, for example, Les Fonts and Los Molinos. 

For those from Alcasar, Valle del Portet and Cumbre del Sol you will need to plan your route depending on your destination! In addition, parking for the health centre is important and many of us are unable to walk there and do need to park our cars. Details of the projects: https://bit.ly/497bVUW
