At its last full meeting, the Council unanimously approved a motion by the Councillor for Civil Protection and Fire Brigade, Antonio Miguel Navas, to request the Provincial Council to speed up the administrative procedures relating to the proposed new Type C Fire Station.
The new Fire Station is to be build near the junction with the A-7 heading towards Frigiliana and the Council ceded land for this project in 2008. Before this time, several other sites were considered, and subsequently rejected, by the provincial authorities.
The Provincial Fire Consortium are apparently still working on the project, valued at €1 million and funded by the Ministry of Interior, but cannot say when it will be put out to tender or when construction can actually begin. All they can say is that the Fire Station will be built, at some time.
