Optimising resources to provide new areas and services to the residents of Orihuela Costa is one of the objectives of the PSOE program according to the Mayor of Orihuela, Carolina Gracia, who is running for re-election, as she responds to the needs and demands of the residents.
Among the proposals, she wants to turn the town hall in Playa Flamenca, into a cultural and multi-purpose centre that includes a study room, a children’s library and an assembly hall. This was announced in a meeting with representatives of AVCRL, Tomás Moreno and Unai Villanueva, on Wednesday.
This option, she explained, involves relocating all the municipal services offered at the current town hall to the Emergency Centre, located on Avenida Miguel de Cervantes, a building with 4,700 square metres”.
This will enable, “all different administrative services to be unified in the same building, in addition to facilitating plenty of parking.”
Gracia said that this allows residents “to have the facility they are demanding on the Coast.”
She also spoke of a need to implement the “Plan Costa Orihuela” for the maintenance of infrastructures across the entire municipal government that includes a gradual increase in the budget of 10% in each year of the mandate.
In addition, Gracia proposed carrying out a shock plan with the remnants of the City Council’s budget, which “could start immediately.”
The mayor also promised to increase the urban solid waste cleaning and management service, with a 40% increase in the number of employees by 2027, as well as the creation of an eco-park and an improvement plan for pruning collection.
She spoke of improvements to the beaches with a subsidy of 2 million euros through the Next Generation funds of the EU and an improved transport network.
In all the document featured 35 specific proposals for the coast, “which is still open to new additions by virtue of additional suggestions and ideas that we are collecting in meetings and personal contributions”, she concluded.
