Benissa takes first administrative step to build a 100-place Day Centre on Calle Sueca

The council has opened the administrative procedure that should allow the construction of a new Day Centre on municipal land located on Calle Sueca. The facility, according to the Town Hall, will have 100 places and will combine direct management with contracted places: part will be managed directly by the council, whilst the rest will be integrated into the system of contracted places with the regional authority.

The preliminary project is currently in a 30-day public information period, counting from its publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante. During this period, any interested party may consult the project documentation, the property valuation and the conditions of the concession, as well as submit objections, according to the Town Hall.

The council's timetable suggests that works could begin at the end of this year, with the intention that the centre becomes operational by the end of 2027.

A key project for the term

The mayor of Benissa and head of the Planning department, Arturo Poquet, placed this project among the most significant of the current municipal term. "This is, without doubt, one of the most important projects of this administration," he stated, before emphasising the social scope of the initiative: "When we speak of a Day Centre we are not simply speaking of building a building, we are speaking of meeting a need in Benissa and offering a resource that will improve the lives of many people and their families".
