Help us plea from EMAUS
CHARGE-FREE: AP-7 viaduct over the River Algar.
Make the toll road free, say mayors CALLS have gone out to make the AP-7 toll road free. The fastest and most practical link with Alicante, Valencia and the airport, should be free to all motorists, two
La Marina mayors claim. Benissa’s mayor Juan Bautista Rosello is convinced the motorway should be free. “We want the tolls removed,” he said. “Forty years is more than enough.”
And Benidorm Mayor Augustin Navarro said it is essential for a tourist resort to be able to count on excellent road communications. “But I doubt that this is the moment to remove tolls as there is no budget for the road’s upkeep,” the mayor admitted. Aumar’s concession on the AP-7 toll road still has seven years to run. The road has paid for itself, both mayors claimed.
EMAUS in Calpe is seeking help to fund its nine local homes caring for children, babies, the disabled, elderly and domestic violence victims. With some staff unpaid for months, officials have made a special plea for support from the expatriate community as Christmas nears. EMAUS Christmas appeal - Page 33
