Following 18 years of delays over the building of a new health centre in Nerja, the council has announced it has now managed to buy the plots of land on which the proposed centre will be located in a major step forward for the project.

 

Nerja council has paid €669,234.17 to private owners for the 3,136.24 square metres of land near to Supersol, although the total amount of land acquired exceeds the needs of the centre, as two of the vendors refused to split the plots.

 

The next stage in creating the health centre will be putting together a tender for the works before the plot is transferred over to the Junta de Andalucia who will finance and oversee the plans.

 

Plans to create a new health centre in Nerja have been in process since 2003, but changes in leadership at the local council and disagreements over where the centre should be built as well as who should pay for the construction have all contributed to the delays, as well as providing a seamless source of friction for local politicians.
