**Canillo Council Completes Parking Upgrade Near Moles Waterfall**
Canillo parish council has finished refurbishing a disused parking area next to the Moles waterfall power station, responding to complaints from nearby residents and those in Sant Joan de Caselles.
The spot had remained neglected and unusable since a 2019 rockslide destroyed its original purpose. Residents highlighted the wasted potential this winter, leading the council's in-house communal services team to carry out the work with its own resources.
The revamped area is now clearly signposted and designated as a blue zone, requiring payment for timed stays to encourage turnover. From 8pm to 8am, parking is limited to vehicles registered to subscribers with a permit.
It now offers 11 regular spaces and one extra for drivers with reduced mobility. Council officials believe these improvements exceed what locals had asked for.
*In other parking news, Andorra la Vella will lose the 30-space Cedre public car park and adjacent children's play area in Santa Coloma from April 1, as the owner reclaims the site—operational under a lease agreement since mid-2009. The roughly 1,475-square-metre plot, including nearly 900 square metres adapted for green-zone parking, is slated for construction, with the play area already being dismantled. To offset the loss near the Andorra Telecom Nexus building and Janer school, the capital's council plans to add spaces on Carrer Castell de Sant Vicenç, converting it to one-way traffic. These new spots will include reserved morning and afternoon slots for parents dropping off and picking up children from local schools.*
