A large portion of the funding will be used to resurface roads across Marbella in a bid to improve safety and tackle wear and tear on some of the town’s busiest routes.
New LED street lamps will be installed across the city to improve visibility on Marbella’s roads and reduce energy consumption.
The investment will also extend to Marbella’s sporting facilities, with upgrades planned for the Carlos Cabezas and Antonio Serrano Lima sports centres.
