Go Ahead Given

Salobrena has formally approved the Old Folks Home plan in Lobres. Isabel Correa, councilwoman for the area, remarked that the plan was first touted a year ago, and has had to pass through various difficulties before it could be approved, but now finally it can go ahead which she is very happy about.
