Mayor of Vélez-Málaga, Antonio Moreno Ferrer, has said that he would consider terminating the town halls contract with public transport company, Travelsa, part of ALSA, if it does not comply with the local authoritys wishes vis à vis the towns tram.

Speaking days after a report from the court of auditors condemned decisions made before the controversial public transport system first started operating in 2006, he said, It isnt appropriate for the company to create obstacles for a municipal project.

The report accuses the town hall of doing insufficient research into a tram system for the town, before going ahead with the project, which was stopped in 2012.

The auditors report said it had found practices that did not conform to the principles of equality, objectivity, transparency and economy in the management of public funds. A series of recommendations were also given, including evaluating the sustainability of such a project.
