The Partido Popular has said that although they are very much in favour of semi pedestrianisation in some areas of the town these must only be implemented with the cooperation of  traders, restaurateurs and residents of Santa Pola, but they completely disagree with the manner in which the current council has implemented such a measure in Avenida González Vicén “without any sort of plan and without a serious study of traffic management.

What at first was a trial “seems now to have become permanent. Many citizens agree that it has not been thought through saying that there is a lack of organization which develops into absolute chaos by the chaos during peak hours of traffic,” a party spokesman declared.
