THE TOWN HALL OF ELS POBLETS RECEIVES A GRANT TO PROMOTE EMPLOYMENT

The Ministry of Economy, Treasury & Employment, through the Department for Employment has given the Town Hall of Els Poblets a grant destined to the hiring of unemployed workers in order to accomplish work and services of general and social interest..

The grant, which totals 14.082,16 €, is going to the repair of the roof of the old schools of Mira-Rose, which at present is used as a municipal store and is situated next to the Church of El Salvador.

This work, which will have a duration of 1 month and 26 days, will give work to 4 unemployed people of Els Poblets, 3 of them unskilled workers and 1 skilled. The selection of hiring the unemployed people will be through the Valencian Service of Employment and Formation (Servef) and will be carried out according to the requirements and criteria that this agency determines.

This grant together with the Plan-E will give work to some unemployed people of Els Poblets.

"TEACHERS HOUSES"

Work is already in motion for the adaptation of the old dwellings of the teachers.

These dwellings, situated in Calle Pego, were originally for the use of the teachers of Els Poblets but more recently have been used for storage and had become very run down. For this reason it was decided to take advantage of the Plan-E for their adaptation.

The work is financed 100% by the state fund for employment and local sustainability, which both improves local infrastructure and gives employment to local people.

The grant totals 58.354,09 € and the duration will be of 80 days. Once the building is in a perfect state it will be made available for the use of residents and cultural associations.

THE TOURIST INFO OFFICE OF ELS POBLETS RENEWS ITS FURNITURE

The Mayor of Els Poblets, Jaime Ivars, together with Councillor of Tourism, Pilar Bisquert, visited the Tourist Information Office of Els Poblets after the completion of the renewal of all the furniture.

The Valencian Agency of Tourism was in charge of the total cost of this renewal. A necessary renewal since the office still had the same furniture since it was opened in 1998. The time elapsed and the new needs of the service made it necessary to adapt the interior space and to renew the furniture to improve the benefits for both visitors and staff.

The Valencian Agency of Tourism, which includes the Project of Integration of the offices "Tourist Info" in order to give them a homogeneous image and link between them, agreed with the Town Hall of Els Poblets the adaptation and reform of the office of the municipality. Previously the Town Hall requested that they valued the need to adapt the existing furniture in the office to one more harmonious to the needs of the service, permitting visitors to be attended from the counter in a comfortable form without interrupting the work that needs to be carried out in parallel.

Thus therefore, the Valencian Agency of Tourism, assumed the total price of the renewal of the furniture, giving it more modern and functional characteristics.
