The City of Las Torres de Cotillas will hold tomorrow tomorrow, Tuesday, May 29 (18 hours) a day to explain the project of development of participatory budgets in schools in the municipality.
This meeting will take place in the plenary hall of the local Consistory and is open to all residents of the municipality.
"A total of 587 students of Secondary, Baccalaureate and Training Cycles participated in the participatory budgets for 2018 and 2019", explains the mayor Isabel María Zapata, who notes that "each annuity has a game of 15,000 euros."
For this year the young people chose free summer film sessions in public spaces, the creation of free wifi zones in the Constitution Park and the municipal library, and a foam party with inflatable slide.
For the next year the chosen proposals -of the total of 46 that passed the technical filter- were a festival 'Holi Run' and a festival reggaeton and trap.
Greater transparency and efficiency
Hand in hand with the Council of Transparency of the Region of Murcia and the University of Murcia, this campaign of participatory budgeting focused on schools in the municipality.
"The participatory budgets have to give greater transparency and efficiency even to our management of public resources," says the councilor of Finance, Angel Gonzalez, who notes that this follows the path established by the strategy 'The Towers 2025 Come and Stay' "This initiative collected ideas and proposals from citizens, concessionary companies, businessmen, merchants, cultural, political and social agents of the municipality for months," says González, who stresses that "it was a very enriching process".
