Under pressure from local residents and the Council, the owners of the private car park in Los Huertos de Carabeo are to reinstate the discount parking rates for local residents.
Reduced rate parking, €20 per month in the winter and €40 per month in the summer, were originally available to people living in the immediate area. However, the company operating the car park decided to abolish these special rates, much to the annoyance of the local residents.
The local residents asked the Mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo, to intercede on their behalf and he arranged a meeting with the owners to discuss the matter. According to the Council, the owners of the car park were in breach of their commitment to renew the special rate subscriptions for residents.
