It will not be Igeldo, as it was attempted in 2013, but it will have more competencies than a traditional neighborhood. This is a small local entity. The vote was taken on Sunday and despite half of the neighbours voting, the yes has easily been imposed.

The status of a small local authority means that road cleaning, subsidies, cultural programming or the conservation of green areas are left to the members of the Igeldo People's Council. More autonomy than other neighborhoods.

Once the results of the Sunday referendum have been taken, the report will be sent to the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa on Monday for resolution by Foral Decree. Igeldarras consider that it can be carried out within two to four months, according to the EiTB group.
