The Los Verdes green party of Torrevieja has filed a report with the Alicante coastal department asking them to take action over the proposed construction of two skyscrapers which would decimate a park in the town.
The proposed construction was approved by the ruling Partido Popular on 30 December, despite the project having received a negative report from the coastal department.
As a result, the greens have communicated with the Territorial Service of Costas so that they are “aware of the situation and can act accordingly.”
The project affects the Dona Sinforose park and will mean the destruction of one of the lungs of the city and one of the municipality’s identity hallmarks, for the construction of the two 82 metre towers.
According to the Costa Report, the works affects land protected under the maritime domain. The greens denounce in a statement the “systematic violation of the Coastal Law that comes characterising the management of the Partido Popular at the forefront of Torrevieja, with multiple examples that in one of the cases, like that of the illegal works of the Juan Paseo Aparition, have been ran away with millionaire sanctions that have had to cover the punishing punctuations.
Also the spectacle of the illegal works of the ill-favoured spa of sludge, also sanctioned for breaching the determinations of the Costa Law.”
