La Junta de Gobierno adjudica la pasarela sobre el barranco del Derramador y las obras de derribo de las viviendas del Leonor Canalejas

The demolition will be done during the Christmas school holidays and have been awarded with a reduction of budget or increase of work

The Local Government Board has agreed to award to the merchant José Savall Ronda S.A. the demolition work of the block of old dwellings of the teachers in the public school Leonor Canalejas. The houses were evacuated a year ago in view of a report from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) commissioned by the City Council, which noted that one of the blocks was damaged and a "low level of structural security." The execution project, commissioned and paid by the City Council, has been awarded with a reduction of 15,000 euros compared to the initial budget, which was almost 75,000 euros, a figure that went to tender last August and solved now after an urgent public tender.

This action "is autonomous competence," as recalled by the mayor, Toni Pérez, who also manages the area of ​​Education, and noted that once the award has been made, the works will begin during the Christmas school holiday period in agreement with the educational community of the CEIP Leonor Canalejas and the Territorial Direction of the Conselleria of Education in Alicante. The coordination of the works seeks to alter as little as possible the continuity of the course.

Once the blocks of the old houses of teachers are demolished, it will be the turn of the Conselleria to build in this place new facilities.
