| Jávea Grapevine No.173 2015 Rounding off 2014 It is difficult to believe that the whole world is not selfish these days... Well, in 2014 I was able to see that generosity is not a “lost” quality. While the fire was destroying “La Plana” and putting in peril the life of the citizens and their properties, we discovered a wonderful chain of solidarity. On the Friday morning I found 147 mails on my server. A few residents asked me why, in this case, we don’t put the price of the rubbish down and I had to explain them that we already foresee this when we study the yearly budget. I take advantage of this column to remind you that the Town Hall via Cespa is giving a free collection of items service so..... don’t break your back, loading old furnitures in your car & don’t try to find a “secret” place to unload it. All these people were offering accommodation, pets care, food, cleaning & gardening help etc... Fortunately, the affected neighbours were able to go back to their homes but we have also been offered support for when the reforestation starts. Doris Courcelles The only problem is that the items have to be standing at the entrance of your property as the employees cannot enter private plots. At the moment, the priorities are given to the cleaning of the burned areas and the reconstruction of the terraces stone walls. by Cllr Just dial the 900 102 149 and ask for a collection of your goods. You will be told when the lorry will come to pick them up. In 2007, when the “Cespa” services Company started its 10 years contract, the slogan was: “entretots Xàbia neta”and that means: “all together for a clean Jávea”. Another sign of public spirit was the good news which came from “Ecoembes”, the Company which deals with the management of recyclable waste collected from the blue and the yellow containers. We got 58.275 € as an annual bonus (which has to be added to the c.175.000 € we already get per year), a sort of “great efficiency” financial reward. Let’s think that we are all putting our grain of sand in this project!
