A further 1,350 euros will be used to supplement the basic income of a small number of residents living on the poverty line while 500 euros has been allocated in order to provide a hearing device for a local man who is particularly hard of hearing.
Following the budget meeting the mayor, Ignacio Ramos, took the opportunity to visit the group of employees who make up the street cleaning and environmental teams that are seen operating around the town. 
As well as chatting to many of the individuals the mayor also spent time looking over a selection of their new equipment whilst it was demonstrated in operation. He then congratulated the 55 members of staff who provide the service saying how well they are thought of by the people of the town as they go about their daily tasks of keeping the streets clean, particularly during the summer season, when Horadada receives thousands of additional tourists into the area.
Ramos said that all residents “should endeavour to maintain a clean and attractive environment in Pilar de la Horadada which helps the people to remain positive about the town and to enjoy the surroundings in which they reside.”
