Work is under way to modernise Marbella’s Calle Sierra Blanca and to solve sewerage problems. The project has a budget of 400,000 euros and is being carried out with Hidralia, the local water management company.

Mayor of Marbella, Ángeles Muñoz, visited the works earlier this week together with the councillor for the area, Diego López, and Hidralia manager Fulgencio Díaz. Muñoz highlighted the rapid completion time of “three months" which has been described as "a record".

"The aim is to ensure the proper functioning of services, because every time it rains, some of the premises are flooded," Muñoz explained and added that it was the only street in the area that hasn’t yet been “updated”.

Adjacent roads

Calle Sierra Blanca is to get the same modernisation as adjacent roads like Calle Nuestra Señora de Gracia and Calle Virgen del Pilar. Muñoz said: "It is a major intervention for which we will try to meet all the requests" of the residents, who asked for the work to be carried out now instead of waiting until September.

The mayor stressed that "it is necessary to continue investing in renovating basic infrastructures" and to opt for "a friendlier town where priority is given to pedestrians".
