Port restaurants 300 pay per year for each table

The City Council of Dénia approved yesterday Monday, in an extraordinary plenary session, the new rates that the hoteliers of the port area will pay for the tables that they install in public space. Paco Roselló, mayor of the Treasury, explained that the pricing has been established at 75'65 euros per square meter per year. According to the calculations of the consistory, a table and four chairs occupy 4 square meters, so the price of the table is set at 302'24 euros per year.

This new pricing went ahead only with the votes in favor of the government team, made up of PSPV and Compromís. Councilors Antonio Losada and Alexander Roderkirchen abstained and the rest of the opposition groups voted against.

The opposition believes that rates are inegalitarian

The opposition groups agreed that these rates are not equal, since they differ from those established in the rest of the municipality. As the GDCU councilor Miguel Llobell explained and the popular spokesperson María Mut reaffirmed, in the port a pricing is established per square meters while in the rest of the city it is done by tables installed.

Given these findings, Dénia Rosello recalled that the lowest rates of all the region now paid to the management of the area has fallen back into the City. In addition, Rosello stressed that the figure stipulated in this new pricing will serve to meet the expenses that the council needs to address in that area and of around 230.000 euros per year. In total, the consistory Dianense raise about 102.000 euros a year with these new rates, compared with 178.000 euros collected Ports.

Agreement to modify the enclosures

Since last July 1, the City Council took over the management of the Cervantes esplanade and the El Raset area, the City Council has been working together with the restorers to find a solution to the enclosures. During the sentence, the mayor affirmed that an intermediate solution is currently being sought that allows restaurateurs to use the terraces during the colder months without having those large enclosures that currently notably delimit the passage of pedestrians.
