The budget also reflects the guarantees that are in place to ensure the payment of workers and suppliers, as well cover all the planned investments.

Money has been allocated to extend the beach patrol season, with an increased number of beaches offering a lifeguard service, as well as increasing the total number of guards on duty.
A new vehicle will be purchased for the Local Police, who will also benefit from new and upgraded work materials, including computer equipment. Facilities for the digitization of documents are also planned to provide a better service to residents. A new playground will be constructed at Piedra Villazar, along with a new calisthenics exercise park and more decorative planting in the town. Also, a Dumper truck and other works vehicles will be purchased. Other projects will be carried out in collaboration with other organisations, such as the tarmacking and urbanization of public roads around Mojácar Playa and, the urbanization of the green zone around the new Senior Residence.
