The plenary session held on Monday 11 March approved by absolute majority, the agreement by which the Provincial Council is granted the management of works and services carried out in the town.
Until now, the Provincial Council of Almeria in its work of economic, legal and technical assistance to municipalities, had signed agreements with all localities in the province except Albox, which until now managed it directly.
For the councillor for Works, Esteban Carrión, this decision «represents a saving of 60,000 euros which will benefit all Albox residents, as well as continuing to benefit local companies in terms of hiring and supply of materials».
Provincial Council, through the Special Delegation of Agricultural Employment, provides different services, such as the application, processing and justification of works, preparation of job offers, recruitment, social security and payroll, drafting of reports, drafting of health and safety plans, works management and health and safety coordination, prevention service for workers or agreements with the Andalusian Regional Government for the financing of materials.
According to the estimation made by the government team of the Town Hall of Albox, between administration staff, technical staff, training courses, health and safety coordination and life and accident insurance, the council saves 60,282 euros, «money that will redound in services, aid and subsidies to the residents».
«Albox, dedicates 60 percent of its income to personnel payments, so being able to save on these concepts, allows a greater margin of manoeuvre for aid, subsidies and social, cultural and sporting promotion policies», the government team assures.
