“A connection which is within the competence of the region and for which our town has been waiting 15 years, following the original announcement by the regional government. Now we learn no project exists for building the road, just repairing the existing one. We are going to apply to the Region for, at least, a draft project and concise and clear information for the public, » said Merino.
