Abandoned private land cleaned by the Torredembarra City Council.

The Torredembarra City Council has carried out a subsidiary cleaning of a 13,729 m² private plot, located between Camí del Moro and Montsià streets, to guarantee safety and sanitation following the owner's non-compliance.

The municipal action stems from an administrative procedure initiated due to the owner's failure to meet maintenance obligations. After verifying the situation, and being unable to locate the owners for notifications, the Council proceeded according to current regulations, including publications in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on January 9 and May 15, 2026.
A technical report from February 11, 2026, proposed the subsidiary execution of the works, notified on April 12, 2026. Subsequently, judicial authorization to enter the property was requested and obtained, granted on July 24, 2026.
The works, costing €34,851.71 (including VAT), involved comprehensive cleaning, installation of a metal perimeter fence, and pest treatment. The City Council will initiate legal actions to recover these expenses.

"This action responds to a situation that directly affected the environment and the tranquility of the residents. The City Council has taken all necessary administrative and judicial steps to intervene and address a problem that had been ongoing for some time."

Raúl García · Mayor of Torredembarra
Mayor Raúl García emphasized the municipal government's commitment to acting to ensure adequate conditions of safety, sanitation, and conservation of spaces, even on private land.

"The municipal government's intention is to act when necessary to guarantee adequate conditions of safety, sanitation, and conservation of spaces, even when dealing with privately owned land."

Raúl García · Mayor of Torredembarra
The interventions included the removal of vegetation, waste, and other accumulated items, the installation of a perimeter fence, and pest treatment, aiming to prevent unauthorized access and future waste accumulation.

"The work has allowed for comprehensive action on a large property that was in inadequate maintenance conditions. In addition to cleaning vegetation and waste, a perimeter fence has been installed and pest treatment carried out to prevent similar situations from recurring."

Vale Pino · Councillor for Technical Services
The City Council reminds property owners of their duty to maintain land in adequate conditions of safety, sanitation, and public amenity, as per urban planning regulations. If this duty is not met, the administration can act through subsidiary execution and later charge the costs to the responsible owner.
