As Orihuela Costa residents and holidaymakers still await construction of the footpath promised by local politicians along Calle Cabo Creus from La Regia toward Lomas de Cabo Roig and the Fuente Commercial Centre, many years after its development was first assured, complaints from the townsfolk of Torrevieja are gathering pace as they too voice their concerns, this time about the lack of suitable pavements and cycle tracks for those people wishing to walk or to cycle to or from the Torrevieja Hospital. In terms of accidents waiting to happen both areas and their adjacent pathways are com-
pletely unsafe, simply inviting disaster with the regular streams of heavy traffic that put the lives at risk of the many pedestrians, both adults and children, that regularly use the narrow walkways along the edge of the roads. In Torrevieja, despite the hospital’s relative proximity to the city, there are no pavements or cycle paths linking the town of Torrevieja with its Hospital and the adjacent village of Los Balcones, The CV-05 from Av Desiderio Rodriguez to the hospital creates particular dangers, not even having the capacity for parking a broken down car, much less the capacity for a person to walk to the hospital with a modicum of safety. Circumventing the roundabout at the desalination plant, which is also crammed with traffic every day, creates dangers of its own. Continued on Page 2
