The Diputación de Málaga (Provincial Council of Malaga) is to invest 1,231,361 euros in various projects in Montejaque, near Ronda (Málaga).
The granting of these funds was announced by the president of the Provincial Council, Francisco Salado, during a visit to the town for discussions with local mayor, Diego Sánchez.

The works include the repair of an access road to Montejaque and the opening of the Santiago el Mayor Day Centre.
Visit to Montejaque
Sr. Salado highlighted the efforts being made by the Diputación to support the smallest municipalities in Málaga province with projects that contribute to the modernisation of infrastructures and facilities, as well as with transfers of funds to ease the financial situation of these towns and villages.

The Grant
The Plan de Asistencia Económica Municipal (Municipal Economic Assistance Plan) has been approved by the Provincial Council and consists of four phases. Approval has been given to transfer a total of 527,383.33 euros to Montejaque Council.
Part of this sum is to be used to improve the water supply, but the bulk of the amount may be used at the discretion of the council for the most urgent works needed.

Similarly, 332,263.46 euros is to be invested in the reinforcement of just over three kilometres of the road surface of the MA-8403 which runs from the A-374 to Montejaque.
Work will be carried out between kilometres 3.2 and 6.4, a section that has suffered severe deterioration over time.
At the same time, Francisco Salado explained that a subsidy of 188,740.81 euros has been granted for renovation work at the Santiago el Mayor Day Centre. Although the facility was built several years ago, it has never opened and not been used because it did not meet the conditions required by the Junta de Andalucía.

And, finally, through the various programmes of works, supplies and services of the Provincial Plan for Assistance and Cooperation, Montejaque will receive an additional 182,975 euros.
