The PFEA rural employment programme (Plan de Fomento de Empleo Agrario) is generating more than 1,100 days’ work in Sierro this summer thanks to an investment of €155,000, which translates into work and into improvements to the village’s public spaces and buildings. This was reported by La Comarca on the occasion of a visit by the provincial councillor for the PFEA, Matilde Díaz, to the works being carried out in the municipality.
The works reach a good part of the village and several of its services. They include the upkeep of gardens, squares, sports facilities and municipal premises, as well as the clearing of tracks and of certain stretches of the Sierro river. At the municipal cemetery, meanwhile, the walkways are being renovated.
But the most significant project is the renovation of the municipal warehouse to turn it into a hostel. The building will have a new interior layout, and the works include improvements to insulation, plumbing, wall coverings, flooring, tiling, false ceilings, sanitary fittings, joinery and paintwork. In other words: the building will change its use.
According to the published information, the PFEA pursues a twofold aim: to improve municipalities’ services, infrastructure and public spaces and, at the same time, to boost the local economy and create employment, so that workers can find it in their own municipality.
In Sierro, that translates into more than 1,100 working days (each jornal, or day’s wage, is equivalent to one day) devoted to maintaining and improving the village itself, from caring for the green spaces, tracks and riverbed to the refurbishment of a municipal building.
The works are still under way. When they are finished, Sierro will add a hostel to its municipal facilities, in the building that until now served as a warehouse. For the moment, the information released does not specify the completion date of the works or the use to which the new space will be put.
