The Torremolinos City Council has put out to tender a new complementary service for pruning and maintaining green areas, which will begin in the eastern part of the municipality and extend to other neighbourhoods.

The Torremolinos City Council has initiated a tender to reinforce the pruning, tree conservation, and maintenance of the municipality's green areas. The first action will take place in the eastern area, as a starting point for a model that the Council plans to progressively extend to other neighbourhoods through future contracts.

The new service is conceived as a complementary mechanism to the work already carried out by municipal services. According to sources from the City Council, the aim is to increase available resources, improve the specialisation of certain actions, and achieve maintenance standards in line with the current needs of the city, which has experienced growth in recent years.

The initiative will allow for a broader and more effective service without passing its cost onto residents through new tax increases, as noted by the Council. It will also not result in a permanent increase in the municipal staff structure, as the planning, supervision, and control of the service will continue to be the responsibility of the City Council.

The eastern area of Torremolinos, which includes areas such as Playamar and El Bajondillo, will be the first to benefit from this enhancement. The City Council has explained that this first tender constitutes the beginning of a reinforcement model that will be extended to other areas of the municipality through subsequent contracting procedures.

The system is designed to act in a planned manner and adapt resources to the needs of each area. In this way, an integral and balanced improvement of urban maintenance is sought, with special attention to the care of trees, parks, and green spaces in all neighbourhoods.

Torremolinos has numerous green areas distributed throughout the municipality, from La Batería park to the gardens in La Carihuela. The urban growth of recent years has increased the area of landscaped spaces, making it necessary to reinforce maintenance resources.

The tender is part of a broader municipal strategy to improve public services. The City Council has launched other projects in recent months aimed at increasing responsiveness in different neighbourhoods, such as the renewal of sewage networks or the improvement of public lighting.

The deadline for submitting offers for this first tender is already open. Interested companies can consult the specifications on the contracting profile of the Torremolinos City Council. The awarding of the contract will allow work to begin in the coming weeks, once the administrative process is completed.

With this initiative, Torremolinos incorporates new tools to support existing public services, respond to the city's growth, and progressively improve the care of its green spaces. The City Council hopes that this reinforcement model can be extended to other areas of the municipality in the near future, depending on needs and budget availability.
