Mijas Council has started to pay off the debt owed to local urbanisations in the municipality for public lighting and for public buildings situated on private urbanisations, something which, although budgeted, has rarely happened in the past.
This will help the local communities pay off their debts to the power companies. For 2012, €300,000 has been approved in the budget for the payment of lighting in the urbanisations, of which there are around one hundred in the municipality.
So far this year the Council has managed to pay €260.131,11 to the local communities.
