Sardinia announced a €5 million programme on 21 October combining temporary employment with road maintenance. The funding will support cleaning, upkeep and public-realm work on provincial, municipal and inter-municipal roads, with operational support from the regional employment agency ASPAL.

Proposals may be submitted by provinces and metropolitan cities to ASPAL from 08:00 on 21 October until 14:00 on 1 December. The region says the scheme is intended both to create jobs and to improve maintenance and safety across the road network.
