Councillors in Marbella have put forward for public consultation their idea for a committee made up of the local community to make recommendations on how best to manage the resort's beaches.

The citizens' council will be made up of 17 members and three of these will be selected at random from the town's electoral role. Other members will be a mix of appointed representatives covering councillors, beach workers, local businesses, environmental groups, sports associations and fishermen, among others.

Among the proposed responsibilities are monitoring the quality of the council's upkeep of the beaches.

Lifeguard contract

Meanwhile the council has put out to tender the contract for staffing the fifteen lifeguard stations along the resort's coastline from Cabopino to San Pedro.

The contract, worth two million euros covers two years from March/April to October. As the tender has gone out later than planned, this Easter a temporary provider of lifeguards will be contracted in the meantime.
