The City Council launches a questionnaire to gather proposals for the creation of the Catalog of Protected Properties and Spaces

Benidorm City Council has launched an online questionnaire to facilitate citizen proposals for the development of the Catalogue of Protected Properties and Spaces, as reported today by Councillor for Urban Planning, Lourdes Caselles. This form, available at https://forms.gle/HyodszBZawicaE487, "seeks to expand citizen participation to ensure that the final document is as comprehensive and complete as possible."

Caselles indicated that the questionnaire will be available until June 20 and encouraged citizens to "send us their proposals through this form, thus contributing to the ultimate goal: to deepen the constant and tenacious effort to enhance, recover, and protect the local historical heritage." This action, she added, "has been a trend over the last ten years."

The head of Urban Planning recalled that the drafting of the Catalogue has been entrusted to a specialised team, which "has begun working from the existing asset files, submitted by the Department of Historical Heritage, and which are already being implemented."

"Therefore, we are not starting from scratch, but rather there is prior work that is very useful," she emphasised.

Caselles emphasised that "this new extraordinary participation channel is in addition to the open day held on May 20 at the El Torrejó municipal centre" and "the regular process for submitting proposals, which ended last month."

The head of Urban Planning recalled that "the goal is to have a rigorous, exhaustive, and realistic technical document that sets out which assets in Benidorm should be protected for their value or uniqueness," and that includes both the most significant historical sites and newly created ones.
