Changing the lighting at the A Malata stadium will cost one and a half million euros. And the cost, according to local government sources, will be assumed equally by the Municipality of Ferrol and the Provincial Diputacin of Corua. Each of the administrations would thus allocate a sum of 750,000 euros for the new lighting of the stadium. In Malatawhich starting next season will have new lighting, with the sistema LED, which is what the Professional Football League requires so that Racing can continue playing its matches on the A Malata field. The current lighting, with some lamps dating from when the facility opened in 1993, is poor, even with shadow areas.
To make use of the municipal allocation of 750,000 euros, the Council will plan to make credit modifications, transferring money from other allocations provided for in the municipal budgets, since the issue of new lighting is urgent or Racing will have to go play on another field.
The issue is scheduled to be addressed this Thursday at a meeting of spokespersons, and on Friday, at an extraordinary meeting of the Facenda information commission. To that session the proposal for granting a direct subsidy to the Racing of exceptional character for an amount of 750,000 euros. The club officially requested this aid on May 2.
The studies commissioned by the Council from a specialized company ruled that the four currently existing turrets are valid, so the new contribution will be used in a new lighting system. The amount of the amount responds to the fact that, in addition to the lights, it will be necessary to also replace the electrical systemincluding among other aspects a generator and changes to the line that supplies the stadium.
To obtain the municipal funds necessary to cover this subsidy, the local government has deducted the amount from other items contemplated in the municipal budgets: 300,000 euros planned for the rehabilitation of the Recimil market; 262,826, for the construction of a new social premises in Ultramar; 150,000 from the renovation of the lighting in rural areas with new LED lights; and 37,173 planned for the elimination of the urban tap on calle Penas de Guiton.
The municipal group of PSOE I asked the government about this issue at the Urban Planning Commission this Wednesday, demanding to know the future of these investments. And according to the socialists, the government did not know how to respond. After the session, both BNG as Ferrol in Comn They issued statements criticizing these modifications and demanding that the local government maintain the planned investments.
He local government He assured that none of these actions are being renounced, arguing that because they were projects included in the investments of the 2021 budget, they would have to be executed before the end of this year, something that at this point he considers unfeasible. And for this reason, we opted for redirect those funds and allocate them to the Racing project, also foreseeing these interventions for the future.
