Alfaz Forum to expand

FORUM MARE NOSTRUM in Alfaz del Pi have announced the construction of 268 new houses.

The new homes will be mainly on the ground and first floor, with large gardens and terraces, prioritising accessibil‐ity and with latest technology sensors providing health‐re‐lated information for resi‐dents and healthcare profes‐sionals.

The largest senior living complex in Spain, which first opened its doors 25 years ago, announced the expan‐sion during a business break‐fast with local companies and political representatives this week.

Alfaz mayor Vicente Arques was present at the ceremony to show the council’s support for the local business sector.

“In 2014 we decided to be‐come a sustainable and friendly town for the elderly population. One decade later we can confirm that gerontol‐ogy and active ageing are the future,” said Sr Arques.

“We are a healthy town and intend to continue work‐ing towards that goal,” he added.

The mayor also highlighted the fact that Alfaz has become an international reference for healthy tourism in countries such as the UK, Germany, Norway and Holland.

The goal is to improve the circulation of traffic and pedestrians in the town cen‐tre, especially during peak times, by eliminating two sets of traffic lights and creat‐ing new zebra crossings.

Work on the roundabout is expected to be finished by July. In the meantime the council wishes to notify resi‐dents that the taxi stop has been moved next to the bus stop opposite the Censal building.

Finally, the outside courts at Marta Baldó sports centre are also being repaired and improved, with work expect‐ed to take two months to complete.
