The Councillor for the Environment has filed a motion for debate asking for forestry activities for Nerja to be included in the Emergency Plan for Employment operated by the Junta de Andalucia.
According to the Councillor, Nerja is one of the municipalities eligible under the Plan. However, since its launch, no communication on actions to be taken within the municipality has ever been received.
The Plan has funds of €1,033,140 and the Council is requesting finance for forestry activities to provide jobs and to improve the natural areas.
Proposed actions would include silvicultural treatments, construction of preventative infrastructure and the preservation and enhancement of the flora and fauna.
