Transparency is a priority for the government team, by esoapostamos by promoting initiatives such as the creation of this website to ensure transparency in the city of Lorca, reporting everything concerning public offices, contracts, grants and agreements, so citizens know what is spent and how every dollar of taxes.
We also believe that public consultations and new forms of active participation, suchas popular initiatives must be heard and considered.
That is why, as a flexible tool for transparency, we must ensure that citizens have the information on municipal accounts.
This online tool, which is available from the web transparencia.lorca.es active helps increase transparency of the Consistory, which goes beyond the existing data.
To this end, in addition to multiple channels and are managed with informative feedback, it has been made available to the public information online that is offered in different formats, either at the data from the same web, or downloading PDF files.
With the creation of this website it is offering progressively citizens all useful information at the disposal of the City, except for those protected by the law of data protection, while collaboration is promoted with institutions, organizations and other administrations.
