Javea<br />
Going for green<br />
OVER 100 hostelries in<br />
Javea have signed up to<br />
the new “Green Flags<br />
Movement”, aimed at encouraging<br />
recycling of<br />
glass.<br />
The campaign has been<br />
launched by Ecovidrio, the<br />
non-profit that deals with<br />
waste glass in the area, who<br />
by Simon Russell<br />
have estimated that over<br />
half of such material generated<br />
in the summer months<br />
comes from bars, hotels and<br />
restaurants. Only about a<br />
third of this is recycled, a<br />
number they aim to boost<br />
significantly. They have delivered<br />
recycling bins to the<br />
establishments taking part<br />
while in the early stages the<br />
Casa Cande restaurant has<br />
been awarded as the “best<br />
recycler”. Last year Javea’s<br />
residents produced an average<br />
of 62 kilogrammes of<br />
glass per person, according<br />
to Ecovidrio.<br />
Proud staff at Casa Cande receive their award<br />
Grant for needy families<br />
ALICANTE Provincial<br />
Council has given a grant<br />
of just under €19,000 to<br />
Javea Council to distribute<br />
among families and<br />
individuals in need within<br />
Mooring buoys request<br />
THE Javea Partido Popular<br />
have joined with their<br />
counterparts in Denia to<br />
request the installation of<br />
permanent mooring berths<br />
off Cabo Sant Antoni.<br />
Despite the risks of fines<br />
boats have continued to moor<br />
the municipality.<br />
Social Services Councillor<br />
Rita Berruti explained it<br />
would be used for two specific<br />
programmes, financial assistance<br />
for needy families (about<br />

their by dropping anchor<br />
This is illegal due to the<br />
damage caused to the seabed<br />
which has rare plantlife.<br />
However carefully installed<br />
mooring buoys would<br />
€10,000) and the home help<br />
service (about €10,000). Javea<br />
already finances a large part of<br />
these, but the grant will allow<br />
the level of care and help to be<br />
improved, said Ms Berruti.<br />
cause no damage and could<br />
then be used by small vessels,<br />
preventing further<br />
damage, said a PP spokesperson.<br />
lans for the proposal have<br />
been submitted to the Ministry<br />
of the Environment.<br />
PP councillors in Denia.<br />
Some of the blocked off parking area<br />
Leaky car-parks<br />
to be repaired<br />
IN a town where parking<br />
is already at a premium,<br />
especially in the summer,<br />
Javea drivers could<br />
have done without the<br />
30 bays that have been<br />
blocked off due to leaks.<br />
These are in the underground<br />
car parks at Plaza<br />
by Simon Russell<br />
de la Constitiucion and<br />
Portal del Clot which have<br />
been closed off for a while<br />
due to intermittent flooding.<br />
The situation has repeatedly<br />
been denounced<br />
and the city council have<br />
now announced that the issue<br />
is to be addressed.<br />
Works Councillor Kika<br />
Mata has said that a series<br />
of mechanisms are being<br />
fitted to divert the water<br />
to intact pipes and at this<br />
moment “it seems to work”<br />
said a hopeful Ms Mata.
