Street improvements in La Herradura to begin soon

A STREET improvement contract for Calle Balandro in La Herradura (Almuñecar) has been awarded to a company and will start shortly.

The street, located in the Espinar district, will be renovated with a budget of more than €56,000, announced the deputy mayor, Juan Jose Ruiz Joya.

Mr Joya explained that the streets around the area were created approximately 40 years ago, and that they had never undergone improvement work, acquiring significant damage and their water supply and sewage systems becoming obsolete.

The plans are to completely repave and level Calle Balandro, as well as performing a comprehensive upgrade of the waste water disposal and drainage systems, amongst other improvements.

Mr Joya said that the work is expected to be completed in a maximum period of three months and has been awarded to local company, Barbero Jimenez.

Once the work in Calle Balandros is finished, more in Calle Fragata is expected to begin shortly after.
