Redován promotes mountain tourism with the inauguration of the longest via ferrata in the Region

The town of Redován today inaugurated the longest via ferrata in the Comunitat Valenciana. A firm commitment of the City Council “to promote mountain tourism and that the town is a benchmark for lovers of this sport,” said the mayor, Emilio Fernandez.

The route of the road is 700 meters equipped and 200 more by trails, which is divided into two differentiated areas. On the one hand, a route for children and families and another area with more difficulty for experts. The manager of the company in charge of the works, Fernando Arranz, has assured that the track is in the ‘Cortado del Colorao’ and that the first meters of the route have a lower difficulty and designed for a family activity. “It has a K2 grade, simple, the staples are closer and has a distance of 300 meters,” Arranz explained.

The second zone is sporty and has a superior k4 degree with 330 meters distance. The manager of the company has ensured that there are a total of 4 suspension bridges, two of wood from 25 to 42 meters long and another two of cables. Of all the innovations presented by this via ferrata is ‘the hinge game’ which is “a unique element in Spain on ferrata roads and that leaves you 90 meters high and separated from the wall”, said Arranz.

Another experience of this type of climbing is that athletes can walk the 42-meter suspension bridge that is 135 meters above the ground, from where they offer unique views of the Vega Baja.

The mayor, Emilio Fernandez, said that “we are satisfied with the work done and the result is already having good reviews among athletes.” Also, the mayor has said that “the via ferrata is one more element of a mountain range that is visited annually by athletes from all over the country and foreigners, so we are working on new projects that improve the visit to our mountain.” In this sense the mayor has assured that the road “constitutes a great attraction for Redován and for the whole region and we invite everyone to visit us”.

The City Council of Redován approves the reform projects of the IES and the school in the amount of 3.7 million

Redován 24/7/2018. The plenary session of the City Council of Redován gave yesterday the approval, unanimously of all the municipal groups, to the technical memories that have been prepared from the Consistory to execute the extension of the IES Jaime de Sant-Ángel and the adequacy of the CEIP Sacred Hearts. Both works will be included in the Edificant Plan of the Ministry of Education, once the regional administration accepts the projects presented by the Consistory, and the forecast is that they can begin to run early next year and end in the first half of 2021. The amount of both actions amounts to 3.7 million euros, so “once the reports are accepted by the Ministry will begin in the first place to bid for the works and then to run,” explained the Councilor for Education Nely Ruiz. The mayor has indicated that the term runs from 2019 to 2021 “because we want to complete the projects of needs that we have raised for both schools.”

The Plan Edificant supposes that the Ministry of Education contributes the necessary funds and that, to expedite the procedures, the city councils are in charge of the execution. “What can not happen is that the money is lost, so we have planned a multi-year investment so that there is time to do everything you want to do within this plan of the Generalitat,” said Ruiz. The mayor recalled that Redován has been asking for the expansion of the IES for a decade and that the Sacred Hearts school also needs an important adaptation of its facilities, especially in relation to accessibility “and we do not want the issue of deadlines they can be halfway “.

Expansion of the IES
As for the Secondary Education Center, the work involves the creation of a classroom that ends the current space problems, which require students and teachers to occupy practically all the spaces of the IES Jaime de Sant-Ángel building. The report is based on an execution project that was drafted by the Ministry of Education in 2009 but which was never implemented. After adapting to current regulations, it will mean the creation of four high school classrooms with the necessary space for teachers and two for Secondary Education, in addition to another smaller classroom and one computer room. The extension is prepared to accommodate 140 high school students and 60 ESO students in a ground floor and two-storey building that will have a constructed area of ​​1,369 square meters. The planned budget is 2,072,263.85 euros.

School reform
With respect to the Sacred Hearts School, it is expected to update the so-called gray pavilion, raised in the 60s of the last century, and then the red one, from the 90s, charged to the Edificant Plan. Thus, in the oldest area action will be taken to improve accessibility, sanitation and evacuation, in an intervention that will cover the 1,110 square meters of built surface, with an auxiliary construction for the staircase and the elevator. In addition to the replacement of shutters and carpentry, the main action will be the demolition of the existing staircase and four bathrooms that will be completely reformed, given that by expanding the staircase area will be built six units of 22 square meters that will serve the twelve classrooms of the building.

Also to improve the accessibility and safety of teachers and students the building will be equipped with an elevator, and will be outside the building where a metal structure with double staircase and aisles distributors.

In the second of the buildings it is planned to undertake the replacement of the blinds, rehabilitation of the outer access pergola to eliminate leaks and repair different areas of the facade among other things. Also in the yard is the installation of accessible children’s games and will end with one of the demands of fathers and mothers when summer arrives, providing air conditioning this area of ​​the school center that still did not have it, which in turn will entail works of reinforcement of the electrical installation.

In the case of the Sacred Hearts CEIP the total budget amounts to 1,770,850.30 euros and the same as the IES is expected to run in the next three years, with the intention that it can be all finished in the first half of 2021. Meanwhile prefabricated classrooms will be installed to guarantee the operation of the center and the safety of those who work and study in it.

Redován increases by 10,000 euros the budget for projects presented by the public

Redován 16/7/2018. The design of the Municipal Budget of Redován for next year 2019 is underway and with it starts, as it did last year, the process of Participatory Budgeting. The mayor, Emilio Fernandez, and the Councilor for Finance and Citizen Participation, Adrián Ballester, today presented this initiative that both have assessed as “very positive” after the experience of 2018. In fact, the government of the Republic of Cordoba has decided to increase the amount in budget to the proposals made by the citizenship to 40,000 euros. This way it is foreseen to invest a minimum of 40,000 euros to the projects that are presented (last year they were 30,000) and the possibility of increasing this figure is left open “taking into account the different spending commitments that the City Council has assumed”, said the mayor of Finance.

Adrián Ballester has been in charge of explaining the four phases of the process, the first of which, of collecting proposals, is already underway. “In it people registered in Redován may submit up to three proposals, with an explanation of each of them and an estimated budget,” said Ballester, who recalled that everything is done through the web ‘http: // budget .redovan.es’. The proposals can not exceed 40,000 euros and the decree of the Mayor’s office that regulates the participatory budget establishes that it will be taken into account that they can be carried out by the City Council and not by other administrations or organizations. “The first phase will be open until September 14,” said Ballester.

From September 15 to October 14 will enter the second phase, in which municipal technicians will assess the legal, technical and economic feasibility of each proposal and will be published accepted. From there the people registered in the platform will be able to vote on the finalist proposals and it has been established on November 5 to finalize the project with the fourth and final phase, which will consist in publishing the proposals by voting order.

The mayor of Finance and Citizen Participation has also said that they can also take part in the process “those people who do not have technological means to register on the platform and make proposals, since they can also be done in the voting phase, in person, in the City Council of Redován “. “It is also very important, you can participate with any mobile phone entering the web.”

The mayor of Redován, Emilio Fernández, has been satisfied with the implementation of the Participatory Budget again “because we can not forget that the Municipal Budget is the most important economic tool of a municipal government to show its government action, and in this case to empower the citizen and also be able to propose the improvements he considers appropriate that should be made in his municipality. ”

Fernandez recalled the proposals that were won last year and that have already materialized in part, “it is about the scholarships for conducting professional music studies; the completion of computer courses for adults and the improvement of tennis facilities. ”

Thus, has specified that “although from the City we are very in contact with associations and groups of our municipality, as well as with neighbors in general, we want their ideas are recorded in this platform and that we are all registered in Redován which let’s decide which are the ones our people most need “, Fernández concluded.
