15. June 2011: New Mayor (Trinidad Herrera) selected from Almuñécar

Mrs. Trinidad Herrera of the PP (Partido Popular / People's Party) was approved by City Council last Saturday, 11 June 2011 elected to the mayor's office. A few days earlier, the former mayor Juan Carlos Benavides for the election of the mayor, resigned.

Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue - should be the three basic pillars of the future of Almuñécar!

His first act of the Mayor, shortened it to itself its future annual salary of 20,000 € and announced that they would make the request to conduct an audit of city finances!

Mayor Trinidad Herrera has much to do:

One of the most important issues that the Mayor Trinidad Herrera had announced before the election, will be the reduction and partial or total abolition of the "blue zones" (paid parking zone).

The Blue Zone, was a nuisance for residents and holiday visitors, especially since almost all the beaches, continuous clock in the morning from 10:00 to 10:00 clock at night, parking fees were requested. Even in the city was all converted to the blue zone, so that businessmen could find hardly any free parking and, the maximum parking time which is just 1.5 hours, led to the following result that was distributed at Park timeouts, more expensive parking tickets and that often, at only a few minutes and overruns. So many traffic wardens, who were eager to distribute penalty tickets, there was probably no other city!
