BENIDORM ICE RINK COMPLAINTS
Benidorm city council have been criticized this week over the installation of the festive ice rink and the fact that it is costing 21,240 euro, 3,000 euro more than last year, partly because it is covered by a roof this year.
Opposition parties claim that this is a waste of municipal funds, especially in a time of crisis, and that the money could be better spent on more beneficial and long term projects.
AKI DONATE CHRISTMAS TREE
The Do-it-Yourself retail store Aki has donated a Christmas tree and decorations to the paediatric unit of Torrevieja hospital.
The delight on the faces of the hospitalised children was clear as the decorations were carefully placed on the branches of their gift.
MULTI CAR PILEUP AT SAN JUAN
Four cars were involved in a pile up on the N-332 in San Juan on Friday evening resulting in a 25 year old El Campello resident being rushed to hospital in a serious but stable condition.
The crash happened at around 7pm on Friday and forced the road to be closed whilst the large amount of debris was cleared.
AP7 MOTORWAY REOPENED
The AP7 motorway near Catral has reopened on Friday evening after traffic was stopped for two hours because a truck had shed its load.
The vehicle, which was heading in the Cartagena direction, was carrying concrete beams when a number of them came loose and fell into the carriageway. Diversions were in place whilst the Guardia Civil investigated and cleared the road of the potentially deadly cargo.
MURCIA GETS THE CHRISTMAS GLOW
The festive lights in Murcia have been switched on but, for cost cutting reasons, they will only glow from 18:30 until 23:00, apart from on Christmas Eve when they will be lit until 2 in the morning.
The lights are also made from low energy L.E.D. bulbs, which the city has adopted to save energy since 2008.
