Totana City Council decided to remove road lighting on the occasion of the festivities of Christmas and Santa Eulalia to achieve a saving of over € 20,000 for the rental of the ornaments, the work placement and withdrawal and consumption .
Traditionally, road lighting was installed in early December, a few days before the celebration of the patron saint festivities, and remained throughout the month of December, coinciding with the Christmas and Epiphany, so that retired after holding back Patroness of his sanctuary.
According to sources from the Department of Infrastructure and City Services, the decorations of lights were placed at General Aznar, Lorca Avenue, Constitution Square, Bridge Street and San Antonio and Santa Eulalia Avenue, Plaza Juan XXIII and the hamlet of El Paretón.
The same sources report that this year will be placed only a few simple ornaments with low energy lighting in the streets of the Constitution and Balsa Vieja to acclimate the historic center environment comprising the parish of Santiago and the town hall.
These small lights are placed with their own material without resorting to rent lighting arches, and the work will be executed by municipal workers.
Thus, the Consistory also joins an initiative promoted by many Spanish municipalities within the savings plan and municipal sanitation.
