To enter, send a maximum of 10 photos of infrastruc‐tures and traditional irriga‐tion systems by email to con‐curscam pdelx@gmail.com. The deadline for submitting material is July 1.

The councillor for Rural De‐velopment, Felip Sanchez, con‐firmed: “The aim of this initia‐tive is to highlight the value of the hydraulic heritage and de‐mand its protection and there‐fore its conservation.

ALICANTE Town Plan‐ning Department has promoted a preliminary study for the construc‐tion of a Social Centre in the Plaza Juan Pablo II located in the neigh‐bourhood of the same name.

The future building will be located on a mu‐nicipal plot which is cur‐rently undeveloped and will have a surface area of 1,764 m² divid‐ed over two floors.

The preliminary study will be used to as‐sess the feasibility of the work on the social centre and will analyse the suitability and loca‐tion of the following us‐es: senior citizens’ club, one or more reading rooms, youth associa‐tions and clubs, gymna‐sium areas, social assis‐tance, learning activities, and multiple activities with the possi‐bility of considering other uses appropriate to the social fabric of the centre’s surround‐ings.

The implementation of the building and its integration with the al‐ready urbanised area will be studied, justify‐ing the analysis of the possible arrangements on the plot and the chosen alternative.

The estimated cost of the works amounts to €3,076,428.
