Manacor will have to advance 1.1 million to take charge of Cales de Mallorca

ManacorCales de Mallorca, the main hotel and therefore tourist area of the municipality of Manacor, has been demanding urban planning reception for decades. Born in the 60s as a private promotion of apartments and hotels to meet the demand of the first sun and beach boom, it has since incorporated a stable population that, despite paying taxes and fees for municipal services, receives almost no maintenance in return.

A situation that affects other coastal areas of the municipality such as Cala Anguila or Cala Mendia, but in the case of Cales de Mallorca it is already too late. The latest problem is the poor condition of the urbanization's sewage system. A legally essential project if the City Council wants to definitively take charge of Cales, in order to invest in it and to be able to grant new building permits, which are now impossible. A project that the commercial company that was in charge of the development of Cales in the 60s, does not want to assume, despite still being active.

A fundamental step for the City Council to be able to invest public resources in it. "This now forces us to act subsidiarily, that is, to act in advance and then claim the money from the company," explains the Councilor for Urban Planning, Nuria Hinojosa, who announced this Tuesday morning that the Consistory will spend 1.1 million euros "which we will then claim through executive action, as the law foresees". Funds that come from the second incorporation of municipal surpluses, approved at the last plenary session this Monday night.
