Marbella implements a system to improve care for people with hearing disabilities

The Marbella City Council will implement a new technological system in six municipal facilities to improve citizen service for people with hearing disabilities, an initiative aimed at promoting social inclusion and improving assistance to citizens, as reported this Tuesday by the municipal spokesperson, Félix Romero.

The council member highlighted that at today's Local Government Board meeting, this new measure was announced, which aims to ensure that “all people can access municipal services”.

Romero explained that magnetic induction loops will be installed, allowing interlocutors to connect directly to hearing aids, “eliminating environmental noise and facilitating clear and effective communication”.

He detailed that in the coming days, the six devices will be installed at the Citizen Attention Offices (OAC) of the districts, as well as at the Social Services delegation and the Local Police Headquarters, while a seventh unit will be reserved “to respond to needs from other areas”.

Minor construction licenses

On the other hand, Romero reported on the activity of minor construction works in the municipality during the month of March, with an investment exceeding 10 million euros.

The councilor noted that during this period, 110 responsible declarations were accounted for, valued at 6.7 million euros, and about twenty decrees of licenses totaling 3.7 million euros.

“These are very noteworthy figures because they come directly from the citizens and from small and medium-sized investors, which shows the strength of the local economic fabric and confidence in our city,” the councilor pointed out.

The spokesperson emphasized that the bulk of the investment was concentrated in Marbella, with 25 responsible declarations totaling 4.4 million euros, while Nueva Andalucía recorded the highest number of initiatives, with a total of 49 and a joint expenditure of 1.2 million euros.

Lastly, the Local Government Board has approved three hospitality licenses for new businesses, as well as the justification of nominative grants for almost 15,000 euros to the Brotherhoods and Fraternities Group for investments already made, such as the new sculpture of the Resurrected Christ or elements of the attire of the Virgin of Victory, among others.
