Alicante City Hall has not issued any fines for building irregularities in the city over the past two years, but now says things are to change.

In 2006 the Ayuntamiento collected 33,000 €, and they have announced that this year they will be on the attack for 718,000 €, according to the new budget provisions. That’s an increase of 2,000 percent over two years, but the Councillor for Town Planning, Sonia Castedo, told the Información newspaper that more people are being employed to issue the fines and to ensure that they are paid.

The areas under particular interest will be those who have carried out building works in attics, closed off terraces, built on rustic land, and whose works lack an activity or opening licence.
