CAMPO DE GIBRALTAR (Agencies) The Mancomunidad de Municipios held an Ordinary Session last Friday. On the agenda were several proposals from various area councils. Among them was one from Jimena: a proposal to create an abandoned dog collection service to serve all seven municipalities. The law establishes that every municipality must have such a service, but financial constraints have led to it gradually disappearing at every one of them, something that has undoubtedly been noticed at the various animal rescue centres in the Campo. Nevertheless, a proposal to study the viability and sustainability of the service was carried unanimously. (Prospero note: watch this space ... with a pinch of salt.)
