Government releases images of plans for the frontier area as removal of the frontier fence begins

The Government has released images of the medium to long-term plans for the frontier area.

As works towards the demolition of the frontier fence begin, it has highlighted the security measures in place. 

On Wednesday afternoon the Chief Minister met with La Linea Mayor Juan Franco. 

There's almost two weeks for the target date of implementation- and the frontier is seeing a radical change. 

Some have expressed concerns on security and the building of the La Linea fair has perhaps added to these. 

Many have been asking what will happen after the 15th and what the changes will look like- GBC and Chronicle Editors were shown round the area.  They were shown the re-enforced frontier fence that will protect installations and which will be closed every night.

The area by the loop is the only area that won't be fenced off so other security measures will be in place.  

Images released today give an idea of what the frontier will look like post-ratification. 

Fabian Picardo has been meeting with the Mayor of La Linea regularly for joint preparations.

The Chief Minister told GBC the opportunities the area offers needs to be maximised for the benefit of people on both sides. 

A beautification programme is planned with greenery and red phone boxes.

And if you look closely in the tunnel- you'll spot an innovation-200 metres of screen.

And, Fabian Picardo said soon they'd be able to announce the relevant dates for signature and temporary implementation in mid July, with political diaries now almost aligned.
