Benidorm City Council listens the residents' demands of El Campo neighborhood

The Department of Citizenship Participation's "A pie de Calle" campaign moved this morning to El Campo neighbourhood to learn about the demands and suggestions made by residents. Some of them attended the event to present their demands firsthand to members of the local government.

In addition to the Councillor for Participation, Ana Pellicer, the heads of Street Cleaning, Mobility, and Parks and Gardens, Luis Navarro, Francis Muñoz, and José Ramón González de Zárate, respectively, were also present, accompanied by the Vice President of the Neighbourhood Council, Antonio Zamora.

Residents demanded more street cleaning in the neighbourhood, although they also called for more civility from those who do not dispose of their garbage in the correct way and at the designated times. They also demanded increased police presence, as they have detected the practice of street drinking in some areas, which, they explained, also does not contribute to keeping the neighbourhood clean. The councillors, for their part, have pledged to implement measures to improve the situation and to repeat the visit in the short term to check on the progress made.

On the other hand, "A pie de calle" has also returned to Sierra Dorada Street, where it had already been visited a couple of weeks ago. At that time, residents requested some work related to cleaning and urban transport, as well as landscaping and the repair or replacement of the bins. This morning, both residents and councillors confirmed that most of the work has already been carried out.

In this regard, residents had requested the installation of a waste collection container, a request that has been addressed by the Councillor for Street Cleaning, who informed them that a new rear-loading container will be installed soon. Ana Pellicer, Councillor for Citizen Participation, noted that residents "have appreciated that we have promptly addressed their demands, especially the reorganisation of traffic and the installation of the new container." Finally, Pellicer once again encouraged all residents to reflect the street's needs in the 2026 Participatory Budget, for which they have until July 31st.
