The residents of El Perellonet oppose the sand dredging planned by Costas for tomorrow

The General Directorate of Coasts communicated last Friday to the Perellonet Neighborhood Association, a district of Valencia, that tomorrow Tuesday the 25th they will begin an "urgent extraction of sand" from its beaches.

Extraction resumes after the one suspended last September, when the planned transfer of sand from El Perellonet beach to El Perelló beach, a smaller local entity belonging to Sueca (Valencia), was canceled due to a lack of agreement regarding this operation between the two population centers, as was then justified by the Government Delegation in the Valencian Community.

This is confirmed by the same association that, in a statement released through its social networks, explains the opposition to this operation as they assure "our beach is in regression, it also needs urgent measures."

In this regard, the neighborhood entity criticizes that no one has explained the details of the work to be carried out tomorrow, "neither Costas, nor the Valencia City Council, nor the natural park, nor the Ministry, nor the Generalitat take our needs into consideration."

The entity assures that "we are invisible to all administrations" and argue that, in these times when there is talk of emptied Spain, "a few kilometers from Valencia in this district, which depends on the Valencia City Council, we are the emptied Valencia".
