After eight years of administrative wranglings, delays and paperwork, the Council may well now have to find an alternative site for the proposed new Health Centre.
The Council sought permission to amend the Nerja PGOU (General Plan) to reclassify the plot of land in question from its current educational status to sanitation status, a prerequisite to the commencement of work on the health centre.
However, the Andalucia Advisory Council, a body appointed by the Andalucian Parliament, has reportedly issued an unfavourable report on this proposal.
The delegate for Housing and Public Works, Enrique Benítez, has apparently expressed surprise at the report but believes that Nerja Council will now have to find an alternative site for the health centre.
This, of course, means starting from scratch. One possibility location being touted is a near the Burriana roundabout, one of the original possibilities put forward by the Council but initially rejected by the Ministry of Health.
Might one respectfully suggest that, if the project has to be started anew, the first priority should be to check that any site put forward for consideration is correctly classified for the intended purpose…hardly rocket science.
It is to be hoped that when, or if, the sewage plant project gets the go ahead, it does not suddenly emerge, after 40 years of waiting, that the proposed site is only classified for the construction of a creche or potting shed.

This is, and always has been, simply political games by the Junta. They are left, Nerja Council is right.
John says:
Sad to think that when our health begins to fail due to the increasing amount of s*** in the sea, there may be no Health Centre to provide medical care!

Spain is mad. Move to a place where they invest in health and proper facilities.
