Torrevieja lifeguards rescue 56 people in July. Be safe out there!

The lifesaving and rescue service that man’s Torrevieja’s packed beaches provided assistance on a total of 1,116 occasions during July. Included in those figures is one of cardiorespiratory arrest, in which it was possible to stabilise the affected person, and 56 rescues of bathers from the sea.

Javier Manzanares, the councillor for Beaches, announced the figure on Friday, saying that 406 people were treated for injuries at the various lifeguard posts with a further 406 needing attention for jellyfish stings and 46 for insect stings.

The high temperatures also took their toll on the beaches, with 22 people treated for sunburn and dehydration.

Other interventions include 35 lost persons of which two were children who were playing in the sea without adult supervision

The day on which most interventions took place was on 30 July when there were 66, and those with the least, the 5th and 7th July with 10 interventions on each day.

The councillor said that he was satisfied with the work of the lifeguards adding that “during the month of July there were no fatalities on any of Torrevieja’s beaches.”

TORREVIEJA UPDATES EARTHQUAKE PLAN

At a press conference held on Monday, Torrevieja’s Councillor for Security, Javier Manzanares, announced that, following the weekend’s Simulated Exercise, the Municipal Plan for Seismic Risks will be updated by the participating experts who were involved in Saturday’s activities.

In making the statement Manzanares appeared alongside a leading expert in Seismic risks, the architect Joaquín Blanco, as well as the administrador de fincas and President of the Association “Torrevieja 1829,” Isidoro Carrillo, a group that remembers the catastrophic eruption that caused so much death and devastation almost ninety years ago

Manzanares said that the amended information would be disseminated through a series of lectures and talks with many different groups, in schools, colleges, homes for the elderly and associations. He confirmed that the Town Council would advise such organisation when the information and dates have been confirmed.

The purpose of the briefings would be to advise members of the public how to act during and after an earthquake, thereby providing knowledge that could save many lives, such as the need to move away from areas with high buildings and to go to areas of wastelands as well as the location of necessary medical facilities and the requirement to take, and to provide information for, a census.

Amigo Cars...

PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE ANY VEHICLE FROM THIS COMPANY.

I have had non stop problems with this company since I purchased my car back in June 2014. I was promised many things of which I have in writing and am still waiting for this now, January 2015.
I was sold a car that I was told after I got it home that it was not road worthy and in a dangerous condition, however it passed its ITV I will never know, leaving me to pay over €1000 in expenses.
I have approached the garage many times in person, and received nothing but rudeness and bad customer service. I then asked for an official complaints form which by law all business must carry, and was told that they do not have this document and insisted that it isn't a legal requirement and told me to proceed to Guadia, in not a very nice way of telling us.
I was advised by the guadia that this is a civil case and not a criminal and to contact the town hall to proceed with my rights as a consumer and they can assist me with further steps.
I was never issued a buyers agreement contract that would state all my rights or a warranty certificate which I should have received upon purchase.
For anyone who has suffered a similar situation in the past, and would like to bring this company to task, please do not hesitate to file a complaint either at your local town hall or you can do so online on the communidad valencia's website.
