The Consell de Formentera unanimously approved Thursday a proposal to strengthen the safety of the road to La Mola, which provides for a complete overhaul of the route, the replacement of damaged elements and the installation of new protection systems. The agreement includes the creation of a budget item in 2026, aimed at executing all interventions.
Commitment to road safety
During the defense of the point, the second vice-president and councilor of Economy, Territory and Infrastructures, Javier Serra, stressed that “safety on our roads is a priority for Sa Unió”. The island official recalled that work has already been done on the section of the ascent to La Mola and stressed that the improvement of the rest of the road “involves a comprehensive review of the road surface, the trouble spots, signage and protective elements”.
The initiative, presented by the PSIB-PSOE group, received the support of all the councilors. The text contemplates replacing the guardrails in poor condition, incorporating double rail systems at points where necessary and installing shock absorbing protectors on all the legs of the containment elements. These actions will be a priority in the island’s infrastructure plan.
Reform of the municipal cemetery
In the same session, the plenary approved another PSIB-PSOE proposal to accelerate the expansion and reform of the municipal cemetery. Serra said that the project is a “priority” of the government team and that it is ready to go out to tender, which will modernize the facilities.
Removal of abandoned vessels
A proposal by GxF to remove beached or sunken boats from the coast of Formentera, a measure that seeks to improve both maritime safety and environmental protection, was also approved with unanimous support.
Institutional statements for the month of November
The plenary approved two institutional declarations: one on the occasion of November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls, and the other for Universal Children’s Day. Both texts highlight the Consell’s commitment to human rights and the protection of minors.
Finally, the president of the Consell, Óscar Portas, presented his appearance as head of Interior and Linguistic Service, in which he explained the lines of work planned for the coming months, according to the insular documentation.
