ince the recent government pact between the PP and PSOE in the Town Hall of Els Poblets, the Mayor Jaime Ivars (PP) evaluates the economic situation and is very satisfied by the present operation of the new team of government.
After meetings held with several groups within the town it has been possible to asses the degree of satisfaction expressed by the residents. A favourable reaction has been reported with regard to the situation on several subjects, for example, the situation of the gardens, works and services and cleaning, departments directed previously by Mr. Simarro of the PIREE.
As far as the present economic situation of the Town Hall of Els Poblets, the situation is not anything as dramatic as some want to make out.
It is clear that the situation is not absolutely buoyant but numbers do not deceive and for that reason, the Mayor affirms that he has kept his feet on the ground and has taken economic measure, such as the reduction of expenses and good management of income, which has given and will continue to bear fruit. At the close of accounts for 2009 already it has resulted in a positive budgetary result of approximately 235,000 € whereas in the previous exercise it was almost 500,000 € negative. The treasury surplus that was 600,000 € negative has gone to only 100,000 € negative, that is to say, an improvement of almost 500,000 €
All this data demonstrates the management previously and those that will be taken from now on by the new Treasury Councilwoman will be the best ones and most advantageous for the municipality. The Mayor thanked in advance the councilwoman for her dedication so that this work is continued and affirmed, "I am sure that we will make the treasury into a surplus with the new guidelines on savings and containment of costs taken by the new team of government.
Looking at the present Spanish economic situation and worldwide crisis, the Town Hall of Els Poblets is one of the best situated, data corroborated by several mass media studies that have appeared in the press.
Very pleasing was the surprise of the new partners when they entered into government alongside the PP when they were able to verify that the economic situation was fairly good, because in spite of what others declared, the Town Hall had a positive balance of almost 410,000 € (almost 70 million pesetas) in addition to having no debt with banking organisations.
It is necessary to remember that no matter how much the opposition insists on trying to make the residents of Els Poblets believe that the situation is dramatic and that it is bankrupt, nothing could be further from the truth.
Shortly we are going to undertake new works for the improvement of the town, pertaining to Plan-E of the Government and the plan Confianza of the Generalitat Valenciana, for example, the adjustment of the exit from Miralfor towards Vergel and the urbanization of the adjacent streets to Ave. Jaume 1. At the moment the improvements of the Las Marinas road, the pumping stations and the drainage network are being done. Also a new protective fence in Carrer Girona is being installed, painting of Casa de Cultura and the renovation of the old school, work, which besides improving the town, will enable it's use by people of the municipality.
The Government team is looking forward to continuing to work hard with the desire to make the best decisions in favour of the interests of the town and for the residents.
