Time is running out and the Works in the Old Town must be completed by the end of the year in order to secure a 3 million Euro EU grant. Paving the Church square using traditional cobblestones needs more time, but the EU has refused extension of the grant period (this would have been the sixth extension).

The company currently doing the rest of the Works (Inters) needs a minimum of two and a half months from the signing of any amended contract since the signature is essential for them to guarantee payment for the granite they have bought for the Church square. So the Mayor has decided to revert to the original plan – allow Inters to complete the works with granite paving which will look similar to that in the Plaza de Baix.
