Public swimming pool contract ends

Jo Pugh CALPE T own Hall has announced a decision to initiate a contract termination procedure with the company in charge of managing the municipal swimming pool. “This action has been motivated by repeated breaches of the company’s contractual obligations, which include non-compliance with schedules, failure to provide supplies and lack of lifeguard service during opening hours,” said a statement from Calpe Council. The council has stopped paying fees to the terminated company, and is evaluating a management model that will be adopted for the provision of the service in the future.

Due to the potentially long terms of the resolution process and the fact that the service cannot be resumed until a final resolution is reached, the town hall has issued a guide for users who have already paid for the service, but are unable to use it.

“These users are requested to ask for the return of their money at the town hall by presenting proof of payment.

It has been communicated that Calpe Council will undertake to make all the necessary efforts to ensure the return of the money to those affected. Calpe Council appreciates the patience and understanding of citizens during this transition period, and underlines its commitment to providing a high-quality service to residents and visitors to the city.

“We are taking this action in the best interests of all,” the statement concluded.
