Citizens requested a meeting with the Director General of Ports of the Generalitat Valenciana

The municipal group of Citizens in Dénia has set a goal: to recover the port for the city. Councilor Sergio Benito states that «la ciudad y su puerto viven de espaldas y es por eso Ciudadanos Dénia ha decidido centrar sus esfuerzos en el asunto para cambiar esta desfavorable situación».

That is why the deputies of their formation María José García and Tony Woodward have requested a meeting with the General Director of Ports of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Domingo, to transfer «el malestar de los vecinos por su gestión» and seek solutions.

The biggest problem that Sergio Benito encounters is the lack of transparency and «la falta de sensibilidad de la administración portuaria hacia las necesidades de la ciudad y su relación con ella». For dianenses, «los accesos al puerto se hacen por calles cuyo mantenimiento pagan exclusivamente los vecinos y la fachada marítima necesita una verdadera remodelación que compatibilizase el transito de vehículos con el disfrute peatonal».

Citizens proposal goes through a «cambio radical» on how to manage the port, with a reinvestment of much of the benefits in deficit infrastructure connecting the port with the city, a complete remodeling of the seafront which could include the underground traffic and opening applications port to its neighbors as the dog beach or fishing on the jetties.
