‘Palma a punt’ until 20 June

The ‘Palma a punt’ programme, which was launched at the beginning of the current legislature, is part of the Ajuntament’s strategy to periodically reinforce cleaning in the different neighbourhoods of the city. The current phase of the programme, covering 84 neighbourhoods grouped into 9 sectors, began on 3 February and will end on 20 June. To carry out these tasks, Emaya has assigned 12 workers to the morning shift and 31 to the afternoon shift, ensuring efficient coverage throughout all phases of the programme.
