AXARQUIA

Junta activates urgent works to send more water to growers in the Axarquía: Junta de Andalucía approved on Wednesday 16 November emergency works to start up the recycling of water at the Peñón del Cuervo waste water treatment plant and its connection with the Rincón de la Victoria plant so that, from there, it can reach farmland in the Axarquía. This new project, which will require an estimated investment of 27 million euros, will provide a further 9.1 Hm3 of water to the area per year.

NERJA

Fun and games as Nerja’s Verano Azul playground reopens after 18 months: There are five themed areas, which include games for different ages, some of them adapted for children with special educational needs. The councillor for municipal services, Gema García reported that the park will be open every day from 10am to 8.30pm and has a security guard at night. In addition, the councillor pointed out that the town hall has also improved the gardens, updated the benches, bins and street lighting and the access gates.

TORRE DEL MAR

Vélez-Málaga demands ‘urgent solution’ for Torre del Mar shanty houses:
– The Casillas de la Vía shanty houses at the entrance to Torre del Mar on the N-340 road, near Mercadona and the land used for the Weekend Beach music festival, are the last of their kind in the Axarquía. The houses are home to more than a hundred people, from children to elderly people who live without proper connection to running water, sewage or electricity.
– After several decades of unfulfilled promises and failed attempts, Vélez-Málaga town hall has once again demanded that the Junta de Andalucía, as owner of the land where the houses are located, provide an “urgent solution” for the families that live there. The deputy mayor of Torre del Mar, Jesús Pérez Atencia, announced that his party will bring a proposal to the next council meeting scheduled for the end of November. Photo: E. Cabezas.

RINCÓN DE LA VICTORIA

Rincón de la Victoria, first municipality to sign an agreement with the College of Veterinarians for the control of cat colonies: {Translation}
– The mayor of Rincón de la Victoria, Francisco Salado (PP), and the president of the Malaga Veterinary Association, Juan Antonio de Luque, have proceeded this morning to sign the first collaboration agreement for the identification, vaccination and registration of feral cats.
– This is the first document signed by a municipality at provincial level with the college in view of the need to locate the number of cat colonies and feeding points, register, sterilise their specimens and carry out the compulsory treatments with the aim of preventing health problems, as well as the uncontrolled proliferation of wild and stray cats in the municipality.
– Salado has valued this agreement “as an improvement in the sanitary conditions of the animals and their environment, which will have a positive impact on the health of the citizens and the image of the municipality”.
– The councillor for Health and Consumer Affairs, Mª Carmen Cañizares (PMP), explained that through this agreement “we can have the RAIA database of cat colonies registered, with an updated census of the animals, which will facilitate the ethical management of animals in our municipality”.
– For his part, Juan Antonio de Luque pointed out that “with this initiative Rincón de la Victoria is ahead of the approval of the future Animal Welfare Law, being a pioneer with the signing of this agreement which will be followed by other municipalities in the province”.
– This agreement, which has a duration of four years, does not involve any cost for the town hall and the citizens. The school will provide microchips, vaccinations and registration with the RAIA of all the animals that make up the authorised cat colonies.
– Last year, Rincón de la Victoria renewed the collaboration agreement with the Malaga College of Veterinary Surgeons for the direct registration of pets in the Municipal Register of Companion Animals, thus saving the citizens the paperwork and expenses involved in the Andalusian Animal Identification Register (RAIA).
