A few days ago it took place in the town hall a meeting of the new board of directors of Xàbia Histórica with the mayor and the councilors involved, Marta Bañuls y Ximo Segarra. The association put on the table the issues to be addressed such as the improvement and expansion of cleaning, especially in relation to the depositions of pets. They also asked for a correct operation of the parking of the hour in the rounds and the promotion of the two public parking.
"The planning department must coordinate investments related to activities in the BIC area", said the president of Xàbia Histórica, pointing out that "If any businessman wants to invest, he is exempt from fees and aid, like the businessman who wanted to set up a hotel on the top floor of Sabadell Bank". He also asks that the licenses not be delayed so long in the drawers of the technical office.
Raul Caselles has commented that in that meeting with the City Council were not too happy. "They gave us long", he says. He also called for coordination between the various departments and the police despite the staffing difficulties he has now.
One of the demands of the previous meeting was the rise of the trenet to the town. They want to know the specific dates and ask to improve local transport. "It is necessary to improve the image of the Old Town during the holidays and afterwards, the pedestrianization on the weekends of the Plaza del Mercat and that the town hall take out regulations for scooters, bicycles and cycles that go above the sidewalks".
Due to the fact that the popular handicrafts fair was suspended due to heavy rains, the association requests that the 22 be made to the 25 in August.
Caselles hopes that with the entrance of two young people in tasks of the historic center, Marta, councilor of markets and Ximo, councilor delegate, get more involved, giving them a time to adapt to the town hall and await a project of revitalization by them .
The new board of Historical Xàbia is composed of Raúl Caselles as President, Sisco Vallés in the vice-presidency and Francisco Pastor as Secretary, among others.
They have exposed what interests the trade and neighbors, although the latter since he left the presidency Pere Sapena several years ago, the new president has left the association inactive. It would be convenient a general assembly and resume the activity of an association, proposing more than criticizing. They were not confronted with the merchants or the City Council.
