New retirement home for Fuengirola

FUENGIROLA Council has announced plans to finally build a new retirement home in the town.

The installations will have a capacity for 120 residents and will be managed by the company in charge of the previous centre located next to the nature park, according to Mayor Ana Mula.

Sra Mula explained that the old centre had to be closed down due to the risk of flooding and noise pollution, given the proximity of the A-7 motorway.

The provincial government will now have to approve the plans to build the home in El Higuerón, a publicly owned area to the west near Fuengirola avenue.

If all goes well, construction on the new centre is expected to begin shortly.
