Consell asks APB to enumerate excursion arrivals in port and repair bike path and promenade

The Consell de Formentera has asked the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (Autoritat Portuària de les Illes Balears, APB) to detail the changes attending the transfer of maritime excursions to the new pier adjacent the passenger terminal and to indicate how many single-day excursions arrive at the port of La Savina. "We have said this many times already and insist once again", said Ana Juan, "the arrival of maritime excursions must be regulated". The Consell president additionally asked Francesc Antich, president of the APB, for explanations about the capture of ship's grey water inside the port.

On Monday, President Juan sent a letter to Ignacio Revilla, chief of the APB's Eivissa-La Savina office, requesting "urgent action on the harbour promenade, where numerous flaws on the cycling path and roadway render normal circulation difficult".

Also, President Juan asked to be briefed on the projected completion of work to equip the new Formentera Fishermen's Guild with electrical connections. The APB has pledged that work will be completed by 15 July.

foto 2022 socorristesThis morning in Plaça de la Constitució, Ana Juan, president of the Consell de Formentera, and Josep Marí, councillor of interior, were photographed with members of the island's 2022 lifeguard and rescue service. Juan and Marí wished the team "good luck for this season".

The crew comprises 22 individuals. Lifeguard service will be provided on Formentera beaches until 31 October. The full crew will work until 30 September, before leaving eleven personnel to work between 30 September and 31 October.

The beaches division of the Consell highlighted the municipal ordinance prohibiting any type of animal, including dogs, on the beach between 9.00am and 8.00pm during the swimming season.

Between 1 May and 11 July, lifeguards logged 365 healthcare interventions and 938 warnings related to boats entering swimming areas, swimmers in boating zones and dogs in dog-free zones. There were also 32 rescues, including one involving a person who drowned to death.

Accessible and heart-healthy beaches

The beaches of Es Arenals and Es Pujols are specially adapted for swimmers with reduced mobility. The service is available when the green flag flies from 12 noon to 5.00pm. In Es Arenals, this service is available 1 May to 31 October; and in Es Pujols, from 1 June to 30 September.

In addition, all lifeguard stations are equipped with a defibrillator for possible cases of cardiorespiratory arrest.

Consell creates outdoor archery practice space

foto 2022 tir amb arcThe Formentera Office of Sport has created an area at the athletics tracks where individuals can practise archery outdoors. The space is intended for young adepts of archery on the island who, this year for the first time, will compete in national categories. It will mean the archers do not have to travel to Eivissa for training.

Paula Ferrer, councillor of sports, highlighted "the club's fantastic work and the momentum enjoyed by traditionally less popular sports which offer a great alternative enriching and diversifying the local offer of sports".

Four Formentera archers have qualified for Spain's national championship scheduled 27 to 31 July in Madrid. The archers, aged 14 to 17, are Carla Santamaria, Manuela Choren, Alessandro Spagnuolo and Ahmed El Bouzrati.
