Back to square one

After all the debate and procrastination regarding Sector D6 in Bigastro, it seems that the PP and UPLC have now accepted the allegations made by the PSOE against them.

The government team have accepted that the original plan, set out by the socialists in 2005, is in fact the quickest way to achieve a definitive solution to the problems. That means that the 13,000 square metres for VPO houses ( subsidised housing) will be located in D6 and not D8 as the current government team had proposed. Also the gas tanks that were deemed illegal by Charo Bañuls (PP) will now remain.

The original value for the sector was set at 4.6 million, that was increased to 5.7 million and then because of delays to 5.9 million. The overruns have now been cancelled along with the contract to Iberdrola bringing the appraised value back down to 4.6 million.

Of course, much of the development has been completed and so Raúl Valerio Medina asks about the 1.3 million gap and how it will be paid to the owners. I think we all know the answer to that one!
