Guardamar to receive €354,974 from the +Cerca Plan for municipal costs
The provincial grant can cover costs in 2025 and 2026 for services including parks, schools, sports facilities and cultural buildings.
Guardamar will receive €354,974 from Alicante Provincial Council to fund day-to-day municipal costs under the second phase of the 2026 +Cerca Plan. The grant is not intended for residents or businesses: the beneficiary is the local authority.
The award was approved by provincial decree on 30 September and published in the Official Provincial Gazette on 2 October. The Town Hall announced the grant on its website on 21 October.
The funding can be used for costs incurred in 2025 and 2026 relating to parks and gardens, health clinics, schools, libraries, cultural buildings and sports facilities. Energy, staffing, cleaning, maintenance, water, telecommunications and insurance costs are also eligible.
The Provincial Council plans to advance 100% of the grant to town and city councils that have not expressly waived the advance. If Guardamar accepts it, the council must account for the expenditure by 5 February 2027. For municipalities that rejected the advance, the deadline is 23 October 2026.
The allocation for Guardamar increased from the initial call, approved in April, which set a maximum of €33,000. A provincial amendment in July raised the amount to €354,974. In this second phase, the Provincial Council distributed €29.2 million among municipalities with more than 1,000 residents, using population, area and density as criteria.
