Councillor Manuel Mestre (Vox) has estimated that the Campoamor ravine will be free of dense vegetation within “a couple of months.” This vegetation currently blocks the ravine, posing a risk during large floods. The councillor noted that a file has been opened for cleaning the final section of the mouth, with permission granted by the Coastal authority last August.
Councillor for the Environment, Noelia Grao (PP), agreed that the section under the CHS jurisdiction remains poorly maintained due to the lack of an agreement, despite the City Council having a budget for clean-up. She added that work has been completed on the Rambla de las Estacas, including measures to prevent vehicles from dumping rubbish and debris.
The councillors addressed these issues in the plenary session in response to questions from FAOC spokesperson, Lola Henarejos. She emphasized the potentially fatal consequences of another DANA like the one in 2019 and pointed out that the Nacimiento River is classified as having the highest flood risk in the Valencian Community’s flood plan.
