Javea Grapevine Issue 174 - 2015 | Page 7

Jávea Grapevine February 2015| I never want to stop being close to all our citizens, this month we had the sad news, regarding the disappearance of Sean Lonegan, a resident whose body was found by police after days of intensive searching. I attended the funeral of Sean, and saw how well remembered he was, by both his family and friends; he was a great person, and I would like to express my sincere condolences to his wife, family and friends. But I also enjoyed a happy moment, visiting Yolande, a Swiss resident who turned 90 years of age, and who has spent over 30 years in Xàbia. We have also arrived at an important year, a year when local elections will take place, elections in which with great enthusiasm, I will again present my candidature as Mayor. My sincere wish is to continue for four more years working for my town and its citizens, always being there to help. To this end, I will work hard with all those who want to join me in this new way of governing Xàbia which we began in 2011, opening the doors of our town hall, and governing with transparency, integrity and honesty; and having a constant and fluid contact with all the citizens of our town. I think we’ve shown a good example, that there is another way of working and running a town. Be in touch soon. Best wishes from your Mayor, José http://josechulvi.com
