The Llucmajor Town Hall has announced that it will finance extraordinary waste collection work with the money it will stop paying to the current contractor due to their breaches. The measure aims to restore service in s'Arenal and the urbanisations.
The Llucmajor Town Hall has decided to take action. In light of the persistent problems with waste collection, especially in s'Arenal and the urbanisations, the Council has announced that it will pay for extraordinary services with the amounts it will withhold from the contracting company for their breaches.
The measure, as explained by the governing team, is part of a strategy for responsible management of public resources. The Town Hall has already begun contacting other companies in the sector to carry out the tasks that the current contractor is not performing.
Accumulating breaches
The Council has expressed its deep discontent with the state of the waste collection service. In recent weeks, several meetings have been held with the company to try to reverse a situation that, according to the Town Hall, directly affects the quality of service and the well-being of residents.
The company committed to reinforcing the service with more material and human resources, but those commitments have not been fully met. "The situation continues without improvement and the deficiencies persist," municipal sources have emphasised.
No municipal debt
The Town Hall has made it clear that it is up to date with payments to the contractor and that there are no outstanding invoices. "There is no municipal debt that could justify the current situation," they have stated.
Therefore, the decision to withhold payment for unprovided services is based on the contract itself. "We will not pay for any service that has not been effectively provided," they have underscored.
Action schedule
In the coming days, the Town Hall will publish a schedule of actions to restore normalcy in the affected areas. The absolute priority, according to the governing team, is the residents of the municipality. "We cannot allow an essential public service to deteriorate," they have pointed out.
The municipal decision represents a shift in the management of the service, which has been facing problems for months. Residents of s'Arenal and the urbanisations have been the most affected by the failures in the bilateral collection of containers.
The Town Hall has regretted reaching this scenario, but defends that the company's failure to meet its obligations necessitates taking all necessary measures to guarantee the service.
