New signs

come illegible for drivers and pedestrians, so they can be a danger,” said the councillor of Services and Urban Quality, Ricardo Sendra, on Monday, August 7.

There is also a percentage of signs that have had to be changed after suffering some deterioration due to acts of vandalism,

“Usually these are sprayed or have stickers that are very difficult to remove over time and also deteriorate the material with what they are made of.”

Sendra asked for “more civility with urban furniture, if it is taken care of and respected it will not be necessary to invest money in repairs.”

BENIDORM City Council has incorporated 33 unemployed workers who will carry out duties for 12 months.

The employees started work on Wednesday, August 9, thanks to two subsidies obtained by LABORA of €258,264 and €253,716, both financed through the European Social Fund. The municipal contribution, in turn, will be about €300,000. The coun- cil has incorporated 16 people under 30 years of age, and 17 who are over that age.

The mayor of the city, Toni Pérez, welcomed them at the assembly hall of the town hall, in which the new workers signed their contracts. Also present were the councillors for Employment and Human Resources, Mónica Gómez and Ana Soliveres.

Of the 33 new workers, 16 of them will be assigned to maintenance of municipal buildings and facilities. The rest will carry out their duties in social centres, administrative departments, and other departments such as statistics or the Local Police.

In addition, two contracts have been signed by two senior technicians with professional training in computer application programmes.
