The Orihuela Socialist opposition has criticized the PP-Vox council for delays in awarding a contract to repair municipal lifts, with delays spanning nearly four months since the bidding process closed in July. PSOE spokeswoman Carolina Gracia highlighted the issue of the La Lonja lift, which was sealed off in February due to safety defects following the council's failure to address the problems.
Gracia also questioned the council's decision to pursue a separate contract for the Punta Prima beach lift, citing the need to restore beach access and meet Blue Flag requirements. The separate contract, published on July 14, is valued at €11,994.73 including VAT, while the wider tender listed just over €6,000 for the Punta Prima repair.
Gracia requested clarification on the scope of work for each contract, potential overlaps, and whether the Punta Prima lift will remain part of the broader contract, as well as delays affecting other municipal contracts.
