The plenary session of the Deputación da Coruña today unanimously approved an additional contribution of 25 million euros to the 'Plan Único' (POS+) for 2026. These funds, added to the 153 million already allocated, bring the total to 178 million euros. They will be distributed based on objective criteria among the province's 93 municipalities to finance works and current expenses for the operation of municipal services.
This expansion strengthens the municipalities' capacity to meet residents' needs, execute projects, and cover expenses related to public service provision. The program allows for the improvement of municipal infrastructure and equipment alongside financing for the daily services municipalities sustain.
With today's approved contribution, POS+2026 surpasses the 138 million euros of 2025 by 40 million euros, representing an increase of nearly 29%. The 'Plan Único', which traditionally had a budget of 25 million euros, now multiplies that initial allocation by more than seven, placing municipal financing on a significantly higher scale.
The 'Plan Único' enables each municipality to decide how to allocate funds based on its specific needs, adapting provincial financing to local priorities. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for municipalities with lower financial capacity, where the Diputación's support allows them to undertake projects and cover significant expenses within their budgets.
The ability to allocate funds to works and current expenses addresses two fundamental needs of local administration: improving municipal infrastructure and ensuring the operation of public services. POS+ serves as a tool for planning investments and bolstering ordinary activities.
Today's approved expansion brings the total volume of the 'Plan Único' to 178 million euros. It has become a central instrument for provincial action and the Diputación's economic support to municipalities. The areas of Santiago, A Coruña and As Mariñas, Ferrolterra, Eume and Ortegal, Bergantiños and Costa da Morte, and O Barbanza are the main beneficiaries of this additional contribution.
