26 2025 April - 09: 00

The renovation works on the Paseo del Saladar, in the section between the streets Diana and Pintor Llorens, accumulate retrasos and have caused a growing unrest among neighbors due to its poor execution and lack of visible progress. The project, which began in mid-January with an estimated execution period of three months, has already exceeded that time limit, having barely reached the 75% of your project.

A promising start that has not been fulfilled

The Dénia City Council announced this intervention at the time as "a very quick work", intended for renew the sidewalks with new pavement, with a budget of 104.000 euros plus VATHowever, reality is far from what was promised. In the supposedly completed section between the streets Carlos Sentí and Diana, are already observed numerous defects: loose or broken tiles, poorly finished edges y patched areas which particularly affect the tactile tiles intended for people with visual disabilities, generating irregular shapes which make it difficult to use safely.

Since the beginning of the works, residents have shown their discontent, especially due to the lack of adequate access to buildings and commercial premises during the first few weeks. In several cases, it was necessary to intervention of the municipal brigade to install temporary ramps to allow residents and merchants to pass, an action that the successful bidder should have assumed responsibility.

Slow-paced emergency interventions

One of the most critical episodes occurred when the company He left the work one weekend leaving a completely raised sidewalk, with debris and loose tiles at the entrance to a residential building, which represented a serious danger to pedestriansAs had already happened with the placement of footbridges in the premises and buildings of the first section, it was the council that had to act urgently to ensure safety in the area.

Currently, work has only progressed a few meters beyond the intersection with Diana Street, in the direction of Pintor Llorens, which calls into question that the work can be completed before the start of summer. The slow pace, added to the questionable quality of the finishes, has intensified the neighborhood criticism.

From the City Council they are aware of the ongoing problems that the jobs are generating. In fact, according to the councilor Maria Josep Ripoll According to this newspaper, both the technician and the director of the work are constantly on top of them to demand progress and repeated arrangements Many of the defective finishes are being addressed. According to Ripoll, they won't allow the result to fall short of what was promised. But yes, we'll have to wait and see, although they've set the new deadline for early summer.

    Like everything else this mayor has done, it's botched work with the best architects.
    With the people's money.

    That's the great thing about Denia. They're renovating streets and creating green areas.
    More than one person would like to have a city council that cares about the neighborhoods.
    I hope these works end well.

    It's one thing to have a progressive City Council, but it's another to have it governed by progressives.
    As soon as they start putting up colorful flags or painting benches pink, they lose themselves in their competition.

    They're not going to allow it?

    YOU WILL SEE WHEN WE FINISH THE WORKS.

    IT WILL REMAIN AS IS, A MESS.

    Every project that passes through this woman's hands ends up like this. A scam.

  5. A real botch job says:

    That's what happens when the city council hires just anyone instead of professionals in the sector.

    It's a shame to see new materials chipped and torn. And nothing's happening here.

    The problem isn't the worker who has no idea; the problem is whoever puts him there. And that's the city council; the councilwoman is so intelligent and well-educated, R.
