The goal is to ensure a closer intervention, better adjusted to the specific needs of each territory. Currently, the Municipality is consulting with the executives of the fourteen Parish Councils to gather their main needs, priorities, and proposals for the upcoming fiscal year.
This planned reinforcement includes not only increased financial support but also the transfer of new responsibilities. More interventions are expected to be carried out directly by the Parish Councils through inter-administrative delegation agreements.
Matters under consideration include formalizing the transfer of management for event furniture—such as stalls, tables, and benches—as well as expanding responsibilities related to the cleaning and maintenance of green and landscaped spaces.
Parish Councils were also asked to identify the most critical works and interventions for 2027, either for direct execution by the Municipality or by the local authorities themselves, with the corresponding resource transfer.
The Ribeira Grande Municipal Chamber bases this initiative on the principle that granting more competencies and resources to proximity-based governing bodies leads to faster, more efficient responses tailored to each parish's reality. Through this enhancement, the Municipality aims to deepen cooperation and provide better conditions for addressing the needs of the population.
