The Marbella Town Hall will approve in an extraordinary Plenary budget modifications totalling five million euros to accelerate projects and reinforce services in the last quarter.
The Marbella Town Hall has greenlit a package of budget modifications that mobilises five million euros, aimed at boosting investments and strengthening municipal services during the last quarter of the year. The operation, approved in an extraordinary Plenary held today, will allow for the adaptation of allocations to the needs that have arisen during the fiscal year and to accelerate priority projects before the end of 2026.
The main source of funding is 2,389,889 euros from the final settlement of the participation in state taxes for 2024, which are revenues higher than expected. These funds will be allocated to items such as coastal water cleaning, infrastructure replacement, and traffic and transport needs in San Pedro Alcántara.
The file also includes 642,580 euros from municipal assets, mainly from administrative concessions. Of that amount, 280,450 euros will be invested in new works on Ávila Street, San Javier Street, and La Fontanilla. Additionally, 465,000 euros from the liquid treasury surplus are earmarked for the regeneration of the surface of the old N-340 in the Golden Mile, one of the main road axes of the municipality.
The Councillor for Finance, Félix Romero, explained that the aim is to “channel resources” to address “existing needs that we must accelerate, obligations that we must meet, and new proposals that were previously not possible.” In his opinion, economic management “must ensure that the available public funds translate into concrete actions for the citizens.”
Another relevant item is a credit transfer of 1,650,300 euros from Radio Televisión Marbella to other areas. Of these, 200,000 euros will go to Festivals, 100,000 to Sports, and 1,350,000 to transport service obligations. Romero defended that the measure “allows us to take advantage of resources that have become available during the fiscal year and allocate them to current priorities.”
The councillor emphasised that all these actions are being carried out without increasing the tax burden or resorting to new debt, which, he said, “allows us to maintain the stability of municipal accounts.” “A responsible administration must plan, of course, but it must also be capable of adapting and managing the new funds that appear during the fiscal year,” he added.
With this operation, the Marbella Town Hall seeks to convert municipal solvency into “better streets, better infrastructure, and better services,” in the words of the Finance officer. The planned actions will be executed before the year ends, with special attention to the mentioned areas and basic services for residents.
