Six streets will have sail awnings installed in Elche

The project file for the installation and takedown of shade sails on public roadways, funded by European Next Generation funds, has been accepted by the Local Government Board. Between May and October, 3,203 square meters of shade will be installed throughout the historic centre, particularly in calle Corredora, Obispo Tormo, Hospital, Solars, carrer Ample and Major del Pla. The contract was awarded last December.
Government spokesperson Inma Mora remarked that “this is a project that demonstrates the commitment of this government team to the well-being of the people of Elche, as these awnings will fulfil the function of mitigating the impact of the sun on the main shopping streets of Elche.”
In order to lessen the effects of the summer heat, the Shade Plan calls for actions like planting more trees in the city or considering this kind of shading in parks, gardens, and other public areas like squares, streets, and children’s play areas.
2.1 million for school air conditioning installation
However, the beginning of the procedure for awarding the contract for installing ventilation and air conditioning in municipal baby schools was agreed at the meeting on Thursday. In order to enhance the quality of life for the kids, teachers, and other professionals who work in these schools, Mora emphasised, “today we are taking a further step and starting the awarding of the contract for these works.”
In an effort to lessen the extreme summer temperatures, air conditioners will be installed in Don Crispín, Don Honorio, Don Julio, Elx Xiquets, and Rosa Fernández. The contract’s base tender budget is 2.1 million euros, and the air conditioning installation will be completed in the summer to avoid interfering with the academic year. The installation will take 10 weeks to complete.

Alicante man arrested for stabbing says “the neighbourhood needs to be cleaned up”

A 24-year-old man was arrested by the National Police for the stabbing incident that occurred in the North Zone of Alicant. Like the victim, the detainee was of Moroccan descent. He admitted to carrying out the stabbing and informed the agents that “the neighbourhood needs to be cleaned up.”
Yesterday at 7:30 p.m., the incident took place on calle Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the district of Virgen del Remedio. A 39-year-old guy who had been stabbed phoned an on-duty National Police patrol. The officers asked for the presence of medical assistance when he showed them the stab wound on his abdomen.
Following an explanation of what had transpired, a second patrol also arrived at the area and began searching for the individual who had stabbed him. According to what the victim told the police, he had been fighting with someone when he reached for a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen.
The police started searching when the victim gave them information, such as the fact that the assailant had a unique tattoo on his neck. Within an hour, they found the suspect in a fast-food restaurant in the same neighbourhood.
In order to defend what had happened, the suspect admitted to carrying out the attack and told the police that “the neighbourhood needs to be cleaned up.” The officers then went ahead and arrested the guy.
With a six-centimeter abdominal wound, the injured guy was sent to Alicante General Hospital and had surgery in the emergency room.
Before appearing in court, the detainee—who already had a criminal record and had acted aggressively towards the officers—was brought to the National Police headquarters for additional investigation.

Benidorm man arrested for stealing intimate photos from a friend’s phone

A man in Benidorm was arrested by the National Police for stealing private photos from a friend’s mobile phone after a party. The 39-year-old Spanish national was taken into custody on suspicion of uncovering and disclosing secrets.
When the woman complained to the Benidorm Police Station, the police investigation started. She told the officers that an acquaintance she had thrown a party with at a house in La Nucía had accessed her cell phone without her consent in a moment of carelessness and sent private images to her phone.
Officers from the Economic and Technological Crime Group at this police station launched an investigation in response to these incidents in order to confirm the information provided and to find, apprehend, and detain the suspected offender.
After preliminary enquiries, the officers discovered that the suspect had obtained the victim’s cell phone and had used a messaging app to send two private photos of her to her own phone.
The officers also obtained a statement from a witness to the incident throughout the inquiry, which supported the victim’s complaint. The suspect was ultimately taken into custody, and the Benidorm Court of Instruction on Duty was notified of all police actions.
