JPP Proposes Elevation of Arco da Calheta to Village Status
Madeira GuideThe JPP party proposes elevating Arco da Calheta to village status, citing infrastructure and community growth.
The political party Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP) has introduced a legislative proposal in the Madeira Legislative Assembly to elevate the parish of Arco da Calheta to the status of a village.
This proposal is spearheaded by Deputy Basílio Santos, a native of Calheta, who strongly advocates for recognizing Arco da Calheta's development and infrastructure improvements.
The party argues that Arco da Calheta meets the criteria outlined in Law No. 24/2024, which includes having more than 3,000 registered voters, a comprehensive network of public services, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, social services, associations, and a growing economic framework.
Elevating a parish to a village status in Madeira is not merely a symbolic change; it reflects the area's socio-economic growth and can lead to increased funding and development opportunities.
Arco da Calheta is well-known for its natural beauty and cultural richness, making it a popular spot for both residents and tourists. This proposal could further enhance its appeal and infrastructure, promoting tourism and local development.
