€7.3 Million for Campo

WHILST discussions continue to take place over the forming of a new Spanish National Government, work has to continue with the PSOE coalition still running the country.

The acting Minister of Finance and Public Function, María Jesús Montero, visited San Roque on Tuesday August 8 to sign a series of collaboration agreements with the eight municipalities of Campo de Gibraltar.

The total amount involved is €7.3 million, with just over a million going to San Roque which is home to Sotogrande.

The signing of the documents took place in the Palace of Governors, and mayors and other representatives of the Campo Gibraltarian consistories attended, as well as Juan Lozano, acting president of the Commonwealth of Municipalities, the entity that will be in charge of distributing this aid.

A proportion of the money being given to the municipalities is to help with the problem of water shortage and waste management although Minister Montero made special mention of her personal pleasure that the Government had been able to advance the improvement of the AlgecirasBobadilla railway.

The Campo de Gibraltar is an area in Cadiz Province close to but not including Gibraltar which consists of Algeciras, La Linea de la Concepcion, San Roque, Los Barrios, Tarifa, Jimena de la Frontera, Castellar de la Frontera and San Martin del Tesorillo.
