MARBELLA will invest €200,000 annually over the next three years to clean up its streets, writes SUR in English. The new operation, funded by the town hall, aims to remove chewing gum and urine from the pavements in this Costa del Sol municipality. Back in 2012, the town hall removed over 12,000 pieces of chewing gum in a two phase operation that had a total cost of €30,000. Each piece of gum removed then cost 20 cents, according to Eloy Ortega, the councilor in charge of cleaning at the time. Evidently maintaining Marbella’s streets is a priority with the latest €200,000 annual investment being the town hall’s latest move.
