Benissa Golf
Any hopes that the people of Benissa had of overturning the Benissa Golf Project were in ruins last night following a Town Council meeting. The plan is to create some 4,700 homes and two golf courses on some 3.6 million square metres in the Lleus area of the municipality. Opposition groups had demanded that the area be declared as 'protected' by the Council, but thePartido Popular Mayor Juan Bautista Rossello - pictured above as he entered the Council Chamber - accused the opposition of 'being afraid' of the consequences of implementing such a plan. For its part the PP presented another motion that would turn down the project, but would not alter the qualification of the land. Some 200 people attended the meeting last night, with one hundred attending in the Square, hearing the proceedings on loudspeakers especially installed for the occasion - something never seen before in the history of Benissa. After two hours of what has been termed 'intense debate' with the mayor being interrupted several times as he spoke, the meeting ended with nothing altered.
