DENIA

Hall this week launches a series of vouchers offering discounts for local shops in a bid to promote local commerce.

All residents aged over 18 with a valid DNI, NIE or TIE number and who are registered on the municipal padrón town census are entitled to request the coupons of €10, €20 and €50 to spend in any of the 90 local shops in Denia and La Xara that are taking part in the scheme.

In order to use the vouchers, shoppers are required to spend at least double the amount of each one, so by spending €20 they receive €10 back, and the same for the €20 and €50 ones.

The vouchers, as well as the full list of participating businesses and general information, can be obtained at www.bonsconsum.denia.es and each applicant is entitled to three coupons of different amounts, ie one for €10, one for €20 and one for €50.

The regional Agriculture, Rural Development, Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition department launched a campaign to inform local councils about the resources and measures they have at their disposal.

These measures include making the authorisation of hunting licences more flexible, quick and easy and holding informative talks.
