The first plans for an extension of Javea Port were mooted in 2003 and the controversy continues .

There is a great deal of anti-expansion feeling within the c ouncil and amongst residents but it could be that there is now no choice but to go ahead .

The company who has been given the contract could claim compensation if the whole plan for 500 new moorings is scuppered .In fact the number of proposed moorings has now gone down to 300 .

Even if the  council puts the work out for tender again and a new company is employed then compensation could still  be claimed by the original company .

It has to be proved that the development of the port is not in the public interest before it can be abandoned altogether .

So maybe they are at a stage

The ruling council in Benitaxell has put out a statement to explain why they have had to raise the local rates so substantially .

It appears that they were left a large bill from the previous administration and also the previous administration had  awarded  a large pay rise for public sector workers which they then had to fund .

Central government wanted surveys to be completed on a variety of issues and these all costed extra money .

The public swimming pool which was built last year to obtain a goverment grant had been out of action and so that also needed money to make it available to the public .

Add to all of this the crisis in the building industry with reduced income from licenses then their income was over a million euros in shortfall.

The council has apologised for the lack of communication about the increases and has asked SUMA to do surveys of all properties to ensure fair payments in the future .

They are also permitting bills of over 600 euros to be paid in instalments .

There are plans to build 1800 homes in Parcent ( Jalon Valley )and the residents are far from happy about it .

In fact they have formed an association called Veins de Parcent to fight the plans .

They have repeatedly made complaints to the council , with no results . There are three developments which have been approved .

There main concern is the lack of water . Naturally , the increase in population and the visual eyesore that would be created are also high on their list of complaints .

There are barely 700,000 cubic metres of water available and with the increase in population this need would rise to 3.3 million .

Even the Confederacion Hidrografica have stated that the supply is insufficient ..

At the moment they are awaiting the response from the regional ombudswoman to give her views on the case .

While diving off the coast at Las Rotas , directly out from Restaurante Mena in Denia , the diver discovered an anchor head which is believed to be of Roman origin .

It was discovered 25 metres below the surface and was covered in algae .It is made of lead and is almost i metre in length .

The town’s archaeological museum has dated it between the 1st and 5th centuries AD.

Once the museum has cleaned the artifact then they may be able to be more accurate as there could be insignias or other work on it.This could be another important piece of Denia’s Roman history .
