The Governing Board agreed last Friday to request the Regional Ministry of Education, Culture, Universities and Employment to open a professional Music Conservatory and a professional Dance Conservatory in the municipality of Calpe.
To this end, the Town Council is making available to the Regional Ministry the facilities of the Casa Nova, which meets the requirements of multi-purpose classrooms that can be adapted to the needs of this type of centre. Thus, if the Regional Ministry authorises the creation of both Conservatories and provides them with teaching staff, Calpe could have an official Music and Dance Conservatory for the first time.
The Governing Board also agreed to ask the Regional Ministry for the Environment, Water, Infrastructures and Territory to convene the Governing Board of the Penyal de Ifach Natural Park to discuss the different needs of the municipality. The Governing Board, the park's management body, has not met for more than a year and is the body that debates and decides on issues relating to the operation and maintenance of the natural park.
Among the needs to be discussed at the Governing Board is to allow the installation of the information signage of Pobla de Ifach and the Park itself, which is currently in a state of disrepair. Another of the issues to be discussed by the Board is the authorisation for the MARQ to create a museum/interpretation centre of the Pobla de Ifach, in the building located within the Park itself. The idea is to set up the former Casa de Ilustres as a museum to house the remains of the Pobla de Ifach archaeological sites.
Finally, the Governing Board must also address the improvement of the treatment of the natural environment.
