Overview

• Local residents praised the €645,000 allocation to restructure and pedestrianize Ermita de A Guía’s access but urged additional amenities and archaeological studies for a comprehensive overhaul.
• The council’s first five flagship works comprise the Matamá parking lot (€1.175M), Progreso street humanization (€1.2M), Ermita de A Guía access (€645k), Doutor Carracido overhaul (€780.7k) and Finca Matías mechanical stairs (€2.3M).
