From November 13th to December 11th, residents of Teià aged 14 and over have the opportunity to vote on actions they consider priorities for the municipality. This fourth edition of the Participatory Budgets will allow citizens to directly decide the destination of 100,000 Euros from the municipal investment budget planned for 2027.
Twelve projects have reached the final phase after undergoing technical and economic assessment. The combined budget for these proposals amounts to 121,500 Euros (VAT included), meaning citizen participation will determine which actions are prioritized up to the available economic allocation.
The Councilor for Citizen Participation, Francesc Ribas, highlighted that this initiative is "a good tool for people to have a voice, have a vote, propose and take part in the town's design". Ribas also emphasized that this year's proposals "respond to very specific daily needs" and that these investments will contribute to making Teià a "more comfortable, accessible, and inclusive municipality for everyone".
The proposals include improvements in educational facilities, such as awnings at Escola El Cim (6,000 €), a sandpit in the primary school playground (10,000 €), or a mobile partition (12,000 €). It is also proposed to equip a children's playground with awnings and picnic tables (4,000 €).
At Ca la Cecília, a mobile mirror for workshops (4,000 €), an awning in the lime tree courtyard (20,000 €), and a classic lamppost in the entrance courtyard (6,000 €) are proposed. Other actions include a dog park in Vallbellida (37,000 €), a lamppost in the funeral home courtyard (6,000 €), bicycle racks at the Sant Berger Pools (2,000 €), and the replacement of taps with sensor models in sports facilities (13,000 €).
Finally, the installation of two book exchange houses in Vallbellida park and at Escola El Cim (1,500 €) is proposed, aiming to promote reading and access to culture.
Voting will take place via the municipal website www.teia.cat, requiring identification with DNI or NIE and date of birth. Results are expected to be announced on December 18th, and the selected projects will be incorporated into the investment plan for 2027.
