TORREVIEJA AIMS TO GET BACK ON 2 WHEELS

UEFA Super Cup sees Manchester City take on Sevilla. The World Athletics Championships open in Budapest at the weekend too.

A tense time for some students might be expected this week too in the UK, as A Level results are released on Thursday. It may also be a tense time for those seemingly running down the NHS, as, in the midst of medics striking and complaining about the lack of investment in the healthcare system over the last decade, NHS Digital update on primary care workforce data is made public. On the roads of Spain, as well as the special operation running through Tuesday, there is also an alcohol and drugs clampdown this week.

Local holidays on Wednesday in Bigastro, Callosa de Segura, Guadalest (also on Thursday), and Denia. And the Brilla Torrevieja festival comes to an end at the weekend.

Torrevieja has taken delivery of 13 new motorcycles that will be used for different municipal services within the council and the local police.

Eight vehicles have been allocated to the police,the objective being to recover the motorcycle patrol that has disappearedwith some isolated exception- from the police service in recent years,both due to lack of material and personal resources.

The other five scooter-type motorcycles, Yamaha brand,125cc D'elight,will be used by the Sports,Parks and Gardens departments and messengers.

The total investment is just short of 100,000 euro.
