Arboleas gets to work on town and approves 2015 budget

VARIOUS improvements are already obvious in Arboleas, with a large amount of urban works currently underway.

Improvements include work on the rock walls and the creation of a pavement and cycle track at the town’s entrance, work in front of the medical centre, extensive works in El Chopo to control future flooding and to add a pavement, and the new children’s playground near the town hall.

All the work is being carried out by PFEA (unemployed workers scheme) and the youth employment initiative, plus a grant from Madrid for flood control measures.

Although the projects are under the supervision of the Arboleas Town Hall and they have the funds as a result of projects proposed, there are regulations about which type of project can be authorised under these schemes.

The 2015 budget has now been approved and provides €1.5 million for new urban works, for which the town hall will have control.

This will allow them to make improvements in the various neighbourhoods, such as street lighting, sewage works and tarmacking.
