The elderly will have a new municipal space in East Marbella

The Marbella City Council will condition a municipal premises located on Antonio de Nebrija Street, adjacent to the headquarters of the Marbella Este district, for the ... use and enjoyment of the users, mainly from the Active Participation Center (CPA) Los Paisajes. The action, which has a budget of 180,000 euros, is pending the final administrative procedures for the start of the works. The mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, explained that the expansion will involve the adaptation of a space of approximately 250 square meters distributed over two floors, which will allow "having more space for all the activities that a center like Los Paisajes, which already has more than 1,000 users, carries out."

The mayor, who has held a meeting with the board of directors and users of the CPA, accompanied by the councilor for Social Rights, Isabel Cintado, and the district councilor, Enrique Rodríguez, pointed out that the action will respond to the need to have a larger area for workshops and events, providing "more versatility when organizing the many initiatives that take place throughout the year." Muñoz emphasized that "from the City Council we are committed to ensuring that these spaces continue to be a second home for many elderly people."

The project includes the comprehensive refurbishment of the interior of a municipal premises currently in raw condition, with a basement and a main floor, which will house two rooms designated for activities and workshops, which can be used independently or jointly, in addition to a waiting area and two bathrooms, one of them adapted. The basement will be equipped with a storage area for activity materials. "With this intervention, a space currently without use is enhanced, transforming it into a functional, accessible, and versatile facility that will strengthen the service network of the Este district and improve the attention to the users of Los Paisajes," added the mayor.
