Residents ask for pavement widening project to be delayed

Residents and business owners have asked for the widening of the sidewalks on Carrer Sant Jaume to be delayed until after Christmas.

We now think that the start of this project could be delayed more than expected and may now start at the end of the year,” said the Councilor for Citizens, Maribel Sánchez. We have reached that conclusion because the contest for awarding the construction has not progressed as planned.

Sanchez recalled that “the merchants in the centre of the city had already had to undergo the works on the rehabilitation of San Jorge Bridge with the inconveniences of access to the area and parking that this situation produced”, so he has asked the town hall to delay the construction until after the “Three Kings” holiday.

In case you do not know where Carrer Sant Jaume is, it is the road on which the citys post office is located.
