If any explanation is still needed
Jávea’s 16 Carteros (postmen) will work out of a new delivery office, at the rear of supermarket Día, where there is ample parking.
The premises were previously the headquarters of the Marcos Gisbert ‘Gunitec’ company and the Eastern part - now to be used as a ‘sorting office’ for Jávea letters and parcels, were the offices for Traydes, the excavator and contractor for Jávea’s former booming construction industry. We understand the ‘public office’ will remain at the high point of Jávea’s Ronda Norte and Principe de Asturias, but have written to the Provincial Director of Correos to ask if they will amend their plans to include one or more ‘public desks’ where people from the Port, Arenal and Southern parts of Javea can send parcels and letters, as there is more parking surrounding the ‘sorting office’ than is now available at the main office in Plaza Marina Alta.
Correos were always looking for a separate ‘sorting office’ but it became a high priority after the previous BLOC coalition in Jávea, decided to ‘beautify’ the town ring road, and severed the Correos office from the ability to easily receive and send trolleys of mail, because the roads were too small for the delivery wagons used by the Alicante regional hub. We’ve also suggested that as Jávea only uses 4 of the 10 possible postcodes for 0373x (0, 7, 8 and 9) Correos take the opportunity to use final digits 1 - 6, to separate mail into the ‘round’ of one or more postmen, in advance of full mechanisation. When there is more information about opening date and services provided, you can be sure we’ll let you know. CR. AEverW
We could have called this local magazine HAVVYER HEARD, but we thought Jávea Jeard would confirm our light-hearted attitude to the serious political and economic problems in Spain, and their effect on Jávea.
