PP raises alarm over shanty settlement at northern entrance to Guardamar
The party warns of rubbish and possible health and fire risks, contrasting the situation with the municipal debate over restaurant terraces.
Guardamar’s PP has denounced the presence of a shanty settlement at the northern entrance to the town and warned that the accumulation of rubbish could cause health problems and create a fire risk. The party accuses the mayor and a councillor of focusing on restaurant terraces while, in its view, failing to address this issue.
The debate over terraces came before the municipal council on 5 June 2026, when it considered a PP motion to amend the rules on occupying public spaces and regularise these areas. In September, the dispute over licence renewals returned to the fore. The PP said at the time that it could affect at least ten businesses and put the average investment made by the affected hospitality businesses at around €12,000.
The complaint about the settlement has now opened another debate over cleanliness, safety and the management of spaces at Guardamar’s northern entrance.
