San Roque expects to make €300,000 per year from illegal building fines

SAN ROQUE (Source: EuropaSur / Photo: CampoPulse files) San Roque Council's new Urban Discipline regulations are expected to make some €300,000 per year for the municipal treasury, according to Councillor Jesús Mayoral, who now heads the department. Some 400 or 500 fines are issued every year, with which the council's coffers will be augmented thanks to the new rules. Mayoral (PP), who took over the department after coalition partner USR was ousted from the government having been in charge of the Town Planning section, has promised that all planning permits and agreements issued or negotiated by USR will be 'looked at with a magnifying glass'. He blamed USR for neglecting this part of their jobs.
