According to the Popular Party and Independents, the budget approved on Thursday provides funds to analyze the problems affecting Ortells, a locality administratively dependent on Morella. Residents of Ortells have suffered for decades the consequences of active geological movements, which have caused severe cracks in their homes and municipal heritage.
“"The indignant residents have demanded for many years that a solution be provided to the serious cracks affecting their homes and the heritage of the entire municipality. With this budget, it will finally be addressed."
Morella's budget, exceeding 5.9 million euros, includes an allocation of 150,000 euros to contract a geotechnical study. This study will aim to determine the existing problems and define the necessary actions to put an end to this issue, which, according to the Popular Party, worsens over the years.
In addition to the study, the budgetary document establishes a line of 18,000 euros to undertake direct actions in the locality. The intention is to be part of the solution and not perpetuate the problem, thus addressing the demands of the residents.
Furthermore, the 2026 fiscal year includes an investment of 15,000 euros in La Pobleta for the rehabilitation of municipal housing facades. Likewise, 8,000 euros will be allocated to Xiva to repair the roof of its municipal space. In Herbeset, the action will focus on repairing infrastructures such as washhouses and railings.
“"In short, realistic, social, responsible, adjusted budgets that shy away from empty headlines and inflated numbers of the past."
