A group of residents opposing the transfer of a municipal plot next to the Sala Polivalent in Solsona has escalated their complaint to the Commission for the Guarantee of the Right to Access Public Information (GAIP) and the Ombudsman. They allege a lack of transparency from the council concerning their request for documentation about the social housing project. The residents are demanding a halt to the urban planning process until the agreements, preliminary studies, and technical reports that they believe should support the operation are available.

The dispute centers on a 2,528 m2 plot located on Antoni Gaudí street. The town hall intends to develop over fifty subsidized housing units by granting a surface right for 75 years to the entities Sostre Cívic and Hàbitat3. The council already approved the initiation of the process in the last municipal plenary session, arguing that this is the most agile way to address the housing needs in the municipality.

The council emphasizes that a meeting was held last Wednesday with residents in an open call, attended by 11 people. During this meeting, they were assured that they would be kept informed of all project stages. Furthermore, it was indicated that parking alternatives are being sought in the neighborhood, one of the main concerns expressed by the local community.

Opponents of the project criticize the "mortgaging" of one of the most valuable municipal plots and lament the lack of transparency in the process. They express fears that the development will worsen the parking problem in the area, particularly on days when the community center is active.

The Solsona town hall, for its part, insists that its priority is the construction of affordable housing and that the land will remain municipally owned. The developer must submit the preliminary project within a maximum of five months, at which point a public presentation of the design is anticipated.
