Javea Grapevine Issue No. 171 - 2014 | Page 14

14 | The Grapevine Issue 171 2014 Updates from XD Cleaning Team for rural roads  The Councillor responsible for the Agriculture Department of Javea Town Council, Juan Luis Cardona, today introduced the new cleaning team which will be devoted specifically over the coming months to clean agricultural roads. These three workers (two laborers and a foreman) have been recruited through a plan of social collaboration with Servef, and are people who are presently receiving unemployment benefit. The Council will  supplement their benefit to the same salary as forestry employees, which is a good example or formula for economic recruitment.  As has been explained in his statement, these three workers will be responsible during one year for the cleaning of agricultural township roads in such areas as  Pla, Les Valls, Barranqueres, les Comunes and  les Cansalades, among others. They will also ​ e doing some work b in areas to prevent the potential catastrophic effects of bad weather, such as cleaning drainage gullies.  Juan Luis Cardona has stressed that such roads have been in need of cleaning and clearing for several years.  The specific program that had been organised for this has only been able to clean  30% of the planned work.   Complaints about the state of these roads, as well as problems for traffic circulation  or visibility at intersections and exits have been passed on to the Town Council by the Agricultural Department Head, and the Council will now coordinate with him to perform this work in the areas of greatest need.  The three workers have been selected by Servef from the registered unemployed people of Jávea. The program also has the support of Creama Jávea.
