The City Council of L'Espluga de Francolí has reprogrammed the ImpulsDipta Plan, the cooperation plan of the Diputació de Tarragona for the period 2024-2027, endowed with €1,045,120.89. Initially, most of the funds were allocated to the Sanitation program (€570,392.71), but only €85,214.33 could be used. The remaining €485,178.38, returned to the Diputació at the beginning of the year, have been re-planned for actions that will improve the municipality's daily life.
The Investment program becomes the largest, with €337,915.49 (32.33% of the total). Current expenditure increases to €337,485.94, and ecological transition has €142,252.57 for sustainability investments. Sanitation concludes with €85,214.33, a negative treasury balance from the 2023 liquidation. Public Health receives €94,835.04 and Culture, €47,417.52.
This year, €47,000 will be invested in improving the municipal cemetery, with €42,300 subsidized by the ImpulsDipta Plan, including adaptation, accessibility, and paving. New niches have also been built for €15,000, with €9,034.17 from the Plan. Additionally, accessibility and road safety will be improved in the lower part of Carrer Lluís Carulla (€35,000, 90% subsidized), and urban furniture (benches, bins, bollards, speed reducers) will be renewed for €15,000 (€13,500 subsidized).
Children's playgrounds will be improved with an investment of €18,000 (€16,200 financed by the Plan), and the new municipal dog pound will be adapted (€10,000, €9,000 subsidized). The improvement of the water network at the Biela well will cost €10,000 (€9,800 financed). For 2027, €94,534.80 will be allocated to street improvements (€85,081.32 subsidized) and €60,000 to paving (€54,000 contributed by the Plan). The municipal swimming pool will also receive €60,000 (€54,000 subsidized) to renovate the small pool and improve accessibility.
In ecological transition, €142,252.57 is allocated to six investments. This 2026, two electric vehicles will be acquired: a maintenance van (€41,400, €40,572 subsidized) and a vehicle for the water service (€25,000, €24,500 subsidized). A new photovoltaic plant will also be installed at the Cometa reservoir (€32,000, 98% subsidized) and solar streetlights on the paths to the recycling center and Ermita (€25,000, 98% subsidized).
For 2027, an outdoor climate shelter will be adapted in Rovelló Park (€15,306.12, 98% subsidized), and part of the lighting will be replaced with LED technology (€6,449.56, 98% subsidized). These actions aim to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency.
“"With this reprogramming, the City Council makes the most of the resources of the ImpulsDIPTA Plan from the Diputació de Tarragona, directing them towards visible and necessary improvements in the streets, facilities, and services of the municipality."
