Agenda21: Presentation on new General Plan - Wednesday; Granadella, where to park; Climate change.

[Chris Jones]

Hi all,

Just a note to say that there will be a presentation about Xàbia's proposed new general plan on Wednesday 12th July at 8.00pm at the Arenal college.

(this information from Xàbia Town Hall)

If you have any questions about possible future building development in your areas of interest e.g. the Saladar, the Montgó, the Golf course, near Rafalet etc. Then this is the chance to ask questions.

Note: I haven't heard of any plans to provide interpreters, but with luck, there'll be someone there who can help struggling extranjeros !

...and here's the latest on the Wiki, including a link to a Google Map of the parking place for Granadella beach.

Granadella access restrictions in force

July 9th
From 10.00am to 7.00pm, July 1st to August 30th, access to Granadella beach by car is restricted to residents and people who work there. Everyone else must park in a municipal green zone near la Guardia and take a free shuttle bus which has a frequency of 20 minutes. For Google map of parking place and bus route see: http://tinyurl.com/y7lqh2ly
Before 10.00am, and after 7.00pm private vehicles can access the cove with parking available in Calle Pic Tort and on the municipal plot of the former Guardia Civil barracks, both of which are located behind the row of houses and just a short walk from the beach area. The dry river bed has been closed in compliance with an order from the Confederación Hidrográfica del Júcar (CHJ) whilst parking Avenida de Tío Catalá itself will be restricted to residents only. Initial response to the new arrangements was mixed, with local restaurants complaining that everyone disappeared at 7.00pm, when the last bus left, affecting their trade. from: La Marina Plaza See also: Javeamigos

Europe's extreme June heat clearly linked to climate change, research shows

July 2nd
Human-caused climate change dramatically increased the likelihood of the extreme heatwave that saw deadly forest fires blazing in Portugal and Spain, new research has shown. Much of western Europe sweltered earlier in June, and the severe heat in England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland was also made significantly more likely by global warming. Such temperatures will become the norm by 2050, the scientists warned, unless action is taken to rapidly cut carbon emissions. Scientists combined temperature records and the latest observations with a series of sophisticated computer models to calculate how much the global rise in greenhouse gases has raised the odds of the soaring temperatures. They found the heatwave that struck Portugal and Spain was 10 times more likely to have occurred due to global warming. For full story see: The Guardian
