The Junta de Andalucia and the Almeria Provincial Government have provided funds for the much awaited stage, which is planned to cost some 2.1 million euros.

There are projects planned such as paving local streets, building a padel tennis court and surfacing rural roads, which will amount to more than 3.5 million euros, of which 1.9 would be provided by higher authorities.

The tax councilor, Domingo Lopez, said that adjusting the budget to the current economic situation had taken a lot of time and effort.

However, the spokeswoman for PSOE, Isabel Arevalo, said that the investments are not credible and the PAL spokeswoman, Isabel Perez, said that her party was not happy about the fact that local cleaning services had been privatized.
