Mayor Francisco Juan emphasised that “we will use sums remaining in the treasury, with that which we have thanks to good financial management which allows us to have savings, because our aim is to add the greatest amount of assistance possible which benefits all those local financial sectors which are most affected by COVID-19”.
Another item for the meeting will be the approval of the new regulation for the concession of financial assistance to businesses and the self-employed affected by the closure of their activity or the reduction of their turnover, due to the declaration of the pandemic. Another measure on the Agenda and which is also included in the assistance to businesses is waiving the occupation regulation of public street areas for tables, chairs and terraces at hostelry establishments.
Also on the meeting agenda is the assistance aimed at the refurbishment of facades and rooves and the mobility improvements in homes and commercial premises, so that more men and women residents can see themselves benefiting and thus, increase the activity for local businesses in sectors related to construction, plumbing, electrical work, etc.
