Xàbia’s Local Police have launched a new unit the UCE (Special Tasks Unit), to increase awareness in all the urbanisations, and rural and marine locations. It is an initiative that has been developed by Pepa Gisbert, the Councillor for Security, and through it the presence of police officers will increase throughout the municipality, with the ability for rapid intervention whenever necessary. This is an important improvement for all of us and we are sure that this will enable Xàbia to continue to lead in the ranking as one of the safest towns in Spain. On the 1st of February, I had the pleasure of meeting the British ambassador, Simon Manley, and the Consul Sarah-Jane Morrison, at the Town Hall. Together, we spoke about the importance of the British community and discussed those areas where we can improve the quality of care and services.
