An Armed Forces Day service took place on Saturday at the Capilla de las Mil Palmeras in Mil Palmeras, marking the first such event organised by the Torrevieja Branch of the Royal Naval Association (RNATB), under the leadership of chairman Tony Jenkins.
It was attended by the Mayor and councillors of Pilar de la Horadada along with senior officers from the Guardia Civil and Local Police.
Traffic congestion on the N-332 bypass through Torrevieja has reached breaking point, particularly during peak summer months where the bypass carries up to 55,000 vehicles a day. Originally designed decades ago for much lighter traffic, the bypass is now critically undersized, but there is still no sign of any expansion.
