Mayor says sorry over building working in Magalluf at the start of the season
First phase of new promenade should be completed by next month
The Mayor of Calvia, Juan Antonio Amengual, apologised this morning for the building work which is still taking place on Magalluf promenade but said that once it was completed it would give the resort a real lift. The first phase of the two year project should be completed by next month. Initially, the building work was going to last well into the summer season but the Calvia council signed an accord with the builders to finish it earlier.
Some sections of the Calvia business community have been critical of the building work because it is still taking place along the beach with the holiday season about to get underway.
The building work on the promenade is being done in two phases. The first started in October and finishes in May while the second will last for the same period in 2025/2026.

This is an Island wide problem. I feel that councils go for the cheapest quote on work where the company cant possible complete on squedule or afford to employ more man power to do the work. They dont seem to have penalties for late completion of over runs on each day over the agreed completion date. This isnt just a council issue it goes for nearly all construction work in Mallorca as i have yet to see any work completed on time or budget. Palma sea front as an example. Pretty sure my customers wont like late completions and definately wont pay the extra cost for the time !
There are road works all over the Island. Some pipe laying has just started. All building and road work has to be xompleted or stopped on first of May. Whoever has the power, must start issuing finacial penalties, on those council areas that have not finished or stopped works operations.
What is dont u derstand is why planning and management is always so poor on the island? Last year was no beach parasols and beds until late on...and it remaims to be seen if we will get the accompanying safes. These works started in October as my parents were there. Its not even the full front...it should have been extended to calvia beach hotel for disability purposes...and it's still no where done. Same with rhe passeo maritimo area too....that was going on last summer! Seriously...what is rhe root cause of these continuous issues?
