The Local Police of Palafrugell has launched a campaign to remove bicycles and abandoned objects tied to public furniture, responding to resident complaints and detected damage.

The campaign aims to facilitate the circulation of pedestrians and vehicles, as well as preserve the town's public spaces. This action is based on the municipal ordinance for traffic and road safety.
Palafrugell's municipal regulations allow for the removal of these items when they obstruct passage, cause damage to street furniture, or are considered abandoned. Before proceeding with removal, the police conducted a follow-up to verify the situation and informed potential owners to give them an opportunity to reclaim their belongings.
The main objective is to enhance community coexistence, ensure the proper use of common spaces, and prevent damage to street furniture, thereby addressing citizens' demands. The Local Police will continue to enforce municipal ordinances.
