The project for the football field of La Palma is extended with improvements in lighting (14/03/2018)

The mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, and the Councilor of Public Services, Juan Pedro Torralba, met yesterday with the residents of La Palma to explain the modifications they have introduced in the installation project of artificial turf in their soccer field, since The expected lighting has been improved.

The mayor explained to the neighbors that initially only the installation of two lighting towers was planned, which would be clearly insufficient, so the project has been modified to add two more, which has meant a budget increase.

"I want you to have the best football field possible, with the best conditions.

I will not build anything quickly and badly to avoid criticism.

I prefer to wait a bit and do the right thing, even if that means some criticism, "said Ana Belén Castejón.

The artificial turf installation project of the La Palma football field was the most voted in the participatory budgets of 2017. Initially it was awarded a budget of 250,000 euros.

However, later this project has been improved, with which its budget has increased and predictably ronde the 400,000 euros.

The mayor and the council explained to the neighbors that this project could have been executed before if it had been put out to bid during 2017, but the previous ones in charge of the Department of Infrastructures did not do it.

In fact, they took the project to the Governing Board for approval on December 22.

"But this project was insufficient since I only contemplated two lighting towers when four are needed.

When we assumed the council and we realized we got down to work so that the new field is what the neighbors deserve, "said the mayor.

With regard to the tendering of the works, if they had been awarded last year, as has happened with the fields of Albujón and La Aljorra, they could have already begun, but since they did not, they have been included in the draft budget of this year.

At the beginning of this year a budget modification was approved to undertake the works of El Albujón and Aljorra because both projects had been awarded the previous year.

This measure could not be adopted with La Palma because this procedure had not been carried out.

"I hope that the municipal groups are responsible and approve it so that projects like this can see the light.

In any case, and putting us in the worst possible scenario, I will bring a budget modification to the full City Council, which I am convinced that all will support because it is for the good of La Palma, "the mayor reiterated.

Ana Belén Castejón explained to the neighbors that she expects that the field will be finished by next season.
