The Alicante City Council, led by the Partido Popular (PP), has defended its management of public services on the island of Nueva Tabarca. This follows complaints from residents who are seeking to establish themselves as a minor local entity.

Vice-mayor Manuel Villar stated that the administration has made significant investments in the island, including land purchases for environmental protection. To address waste management concerns, Villar noted that a new contract includes specific provisions for the island, with daily waste collection occurring year-round and increased frequency during summer months via boat transport. 

Furthermore, the local government is coordinating with the Generalitat to improve island transportation and is finalizing the delimitation of mooring zones using ecological buoys.
