There will be an official inaugurati­on on Tuesday, October 16 at 11.00 to which Mayor Toni Perez, British Vice Consul Elizabeth Bell and representa­tives from the police, have all been invited.

The objective of the associatio­n is to share ideas, as well as worries affecting businesses in the resort and offer support and solutions – as the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem solved.

There is a good cross section of businesses, from retailers to those in the hospitalit­y and media sector, for who the Brit- ish holiday market makes up an important and prominent sector.

They are authorized to collect 'padrón' applicatio­ns on behalf of Benidorm town hall and will shortly be publishing a schedule of times and venues for the coming months.

Any residents who need help with the process are encouraged to attend and their papers will be delivered back to them the following week.

The associatio­n has an excellent working relationsh­ip with the authoritie­s, police and consul therefore able to discuss any issues and concerns expressed during the monthly meetings.

The Benidorm British Business associatio­n’s next monthly meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 6 at the La Torreta Social Centre and all businesses are encouraged to attend as united they are stronger and can make things happen.
