Yes the Environmental Department and the private company that has the contract to keep the town and beaches clean, Paprec, showed off three, new, specialised, cleaning vehicles in the Town Hall Square.

Both (we can only see two in the photo) of these electric monsters, will inflict instant diarrhoea upon anybody hiding in a frontline trench.

According to the regional, company delegate for Paprec, Carlos Mora, these vehicles were delivered in record time as the company had only begun its service in Salobreña barely a month and a half earlier.

He pointed out (the obvious) that they were street-cleaning buggies and had nothing to do with machine-gun-nest elimination or landmine clearing. A third new vehicle is a common-or-garden van used by the manager.

He concluded that during the summer they would receive six more (the street cleaners; not the manager’s chariot) so they can replace all old vehicles that are not electric… or particularly frightening. Oh, he also mentioned that not all the necessary vehicle operators are here yet (19th July), for example the Punto Limpio Móvil operator, which is a bloody-great, metal container that has to be shifted around the town occasionally to catch out people using Zimmer frames and confuse urinating pooches about where they had been lately.
