The Community of Madrid has approved a new Territorial Rebalancing Plan with an investment of 4.5 million euros to strengthen public municipal services across the region.

The Governing Council has authorized this financial allocation to develop this aid line, which introduces new criteria to adjust resource distribution according to the specific characteristics and needs of each Madrid population. The goal is to improve and modernize infrastructure, equipment, and public services, especially in smaller towns.
The plan is structured into three lines of action. The first is aimed at localities with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants and considers factors such as income, the condition of their public facilities, and the unemployment rate. The second line, for territorial dynamization, focuses on municipalities under 20,000 inhabitants that act as hubs for their surrounding areas, providing services to a population larger than their own, or that have several distinct population centers.
The third line, of a supramunicipal nature, is intended for the general interest associations of the Community of Madrid. This new plan adjusts funding to reduce disparities between localities and ensure all have adequate services, taking into account the state of their infrastructure and equipment.
Since its launch in 2025, this initiative has funded projects such as the renovation of furniture in senior centers in Alpedrete, the maintenance of municipal infrastructure in El Atazar, and public lighting expenses in Batres. It has also covered part of the urban waste collection and transport service in Becerril de la Sierra.
The funds have also been used to acquire furniture for Citizen Service offices in El Berrueco, maintain the municipal swimming pool in Brea de Tajo, and rehabilitate the hostel in Fuentidueña de Tajo. Other interventions include the improvement of parks and green spaces in Pelayos de la Presa, the conservation of the senior center in Prádena del Rincón, and work on the facilities of the auditorium in Torres de la Alameda.
