COASTS

Mayor, Jaime Ivars, has visited the works that are being carried out on the Almadrava beach of Els Poblets.

From last Monday the territorial director of Coasts has been carrying out the work of regeneration after the last bad weather that had seriously damaged all the coastal zone of the municipality as well as some of the houses located on the first line.

The work consists of the redistribution of the gravel and reinforcing the mouth of the River Girona with quarried stone of the same size as the original boulders on the beach.

The Mayor, Jaime Ivars, thanked enormously the Director of Coasts, Doña Francisca Baraza, for the commitment, the management and the action that is being executed at the moment.

The houses that are at the mouth of River Girona also are in danger and the Mayor met with the Commissioner of Water of the Hydrographic Confederation of the Júcar at the same time he was in contact with the Doña Baraza. The commissioner has committed the two agencies to carry out the construction of a jetty that will protect these houses in the case of further high tides and/or high river levels.

The Town Hall of Els Poblets trusts that all the agreed work will now be carried out to a speedy conclusion.
