For those who visited us in our office in the old town last year, they will recall the huge effort required to drive around town with Calle Tomas Ortuno closed due to the construction of the new underground car-park.

The Mayor of Benidorm has finally announced that the roads around the new underground car-park will be re-opening by the end of February. He was recently out and about, inspecting the project along with the security and project councillor. As soon as the road has been resurfaced it will be open. The company carrying out the resurfacing work began this week and will also begin to lay new pavements. Then there will be the new road signs and road markings too.

While visiting the area the Mayor also inspected the car-park which was finished at the end of 2009. The Mayor now wants the commercial sector of the town to return to normal as quickly as possible. The new car park has places for 482 cars of which 55% will be privately owned and the rest will be for public use.
