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 CrispÃn, 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.
