Mijas to ban smoking in the Sierra year round


Saturday, September 17, 2011 |

 

Mijas Town Hall has announced it is to prohibit smoking, bar-b-ques and bonfires in the sierra all year round. Bar-b-ques on non building private land will now need municipal permission. The Town Hall also will revise the current emergency plan over the next six months to help future battles against fires. Undeveloped land will be cleaned under the scheme, and all the rural roads will be added to GPS systems so ‘any emergency vehicle can easily reach its correct destination’. It follows the recent fire, which it has now been determined was started by a bonfire, which resulted in 500 people being evacuated from their homes and affected more than 400 hectares of land.
