The notice, issued by the Badalona Local Police (Guàrdia Urbana), reports an infraction of the municipal ordinance on the occupation of public spaces. The document indicates that, following several complaints, the occupation of the sidewalk with pots has been verified, recalling the prohibition of installing any unauthorized element.
This decision has caused confusion among Carrer la Lluna residents, who claim the plants are neatly placed and help make the street “more beautiful and pleasant.” They point out that the street is pedestrian-only, meaning the planters do not impede mobility or safety.
It is a quiet, pedestrian street, and the plants give it life.
Residents regret that the City Council has not offered any alternatives or detailed explanations and demand a negotiated solution. The measure reopens the debate on balancing municipal regulations and neighborhood initiatives for urban improvement.
