New improvements in Valdilecha and Valdeolmos-Alalpardo transform local life

The streets and public spaces of Valdilecha and Valdeolmos-Alalpardo are changing in appearance and function thanks to regional investment exceeding half a million euros. These actions, promoted by the Community of Madrid, seek to improve road safety and modernise municipal infrastructure, two aspects that directly affect the everyday lives of those who live or work in these towns in the east of the region.

In Valdilecha, residents are already noticing the transformation on Calle Miguel de Cervantes, where a bollard system has been installed to control access and the installation of new railings is being prepared. The aim is to reinforce pedestrian safety and renew the road surface, with an investment of 147,000 euros from the Regional Investment Programme (PIR). These improvements make it easier to get around on foot and reduce risks on one of the municipality's busiest streets.

Meanwhile, in Valdeolmos-Alalpardo, the works focus on modernising municipal premises, both in the former town hall — which houses Civil Protection — and in the current Town Hall. Architectural barriers are being removed, electricity and telephone networks are being put underground, and the asphalt and signage on several streets and squares are being renewed. The investment, which reaches 200,000 euros, seeks to make public services more accessible and functional for all residents.

This type of intervention forms part of the Towns with Life project, a regional initiative committed to revitalising municipalities in the Community of Madrid through urban and service improvements. The programme combines funds from the PIR and the Beautification Plan, and adapts to the specific needs of each locality. In this way, it encourages towns to retain their identity and remain attractive places to live, work or visit. Madrid is already beginning to move in that direction.
