Nerja Town Hall wants to fire up a dormant project to create a 'green lung' at the eastern edge of town.
More precisely, it’s the area between the N-340 heading towards Maro and the urbanizaciones next to Playa de Burriana.
Mayor José Alberto Armijo (PP) and the Councillor for European Resources, María del Carmen López (Cs), pushed through the first phase of the future ‘green ring’ on the municipal land plots UE-26-23 and adjacent uncultivated areas.
We’re talking about 25,566 sq/m between Calle Lucena & Calle Úbeda, and the old main road.
Councillor López said that it has a budget of 438,010 euros, co-funded with a grant from Fondos Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (80%). The Town Hall will foot the remainingl 20%.
This greenbelt area will have a footpath stretching 800 metres, from north to south. It will be accessible from the N-340 and from Calle Antequera, Calle Teba and Calle Úbeda. Some of the land will have to be cleared off and other parts will have the existing vegetation spruced up.
