My new English Edition news programme with RTV Marbella is being so well received! Most of us have no inkling as to what goes on behind the scenes in our city, not just with local internationals. Our Town Hall is constantly carrying out improvements and new projects and it’s great to have the opportunity to fill you in on some of them. For example, sustainability is climbing the agenda in the tourism sector. The industry is looking for ways to operate with greater respect for the environment and its surroundings: something today’s clients are increasingly demanding and are shaping day-to-day management. According to a new report released last Tuesday, Puerto Banús ranks among the Mediterranean’s leading marinas for sustainability. Works on the Istán Road are now 80% complete, with the aim of finishing before year-end. It’s a complex scheme that will enhance not only the look of the area but, crucially, road safety. It will also improve access to nearby residential developments and educational facilities. The City Council is replacing streetlights in the Miraflores neighbourhood. The work will last around two weeks and comes in response to requests made by local residents. The Town Hall has confirmed that this will not be the only area to benefit. On this note, if you notice any “lackings” in their area: rubbish collection, poor lighting or tricky access for a wheelchair, please do write to the Town Hall, all their contact details are on the Marbella.es website and / or the Foreigners Department, so they’ll know and can potentially do something about it. Similarly if you have something of interest to our community, you can contact me to possibly come on the show!
