During the ordinary plenary session for September, the Torrevieja corporation discussed a motion from the Popular Party group urging the Spanish government to address critical needs in the N-332 variant project. Mayor Eduardo Dolón highlighted the daily traffic congestion and reiterated the importance of fulfilling commitments made by the Transport Minister Oscar Puente regarding project tenders in two thousand twenty-five. The motion received support from the Popular Party, Vox, and Sueña Torrevieja, but was opposed by PSOE council members.
Additionally, the council approved the initial implementation of a low emission zone, set to begin on the first of January, two thousand twenty-seven. Federico Alarcón, the councillor for Safety and Traffic, explained that all vehicles with the appropriate DGT label would be allowed access, along with those registered in the city without the label. Despite concerns raised by Vox regarding the necessity of such measures, the initiative aims to tackle greenhouse gas emissions in Torrevieja.
In a related matter, a motion presented by PSOE to strengthen municipal cybersecurity was not approved, as the council stated that the proposed solutions have been in practice since two thousand nineteen. The session highlighted the ongoing debate around infrastructure improvement and environmental regulations, with differing views among the municipal groups.
The discussions and votes reflect a significant push towards improving both traffic conditions and environmental responsibility within the city, emphasising the challenges faced and the varying perspectives on these pressing issues.
