The neighborhood claim, which dates back 25 years, will become effective with the approval in the Terrassa plenary session on January 30. This decision responds to the clear geographical and functional link of the urbanization with Matadepera, as most essential services, such as waste management, mail, and the primary care center (CAP), are already provided by the latter municipality.
“"Matadepera is the natural entrance to the urbanization and, furthermore, it is the one that offers all the services. There was an urban planning imbalance that now enters into normality."
The Deputy Mayor for Territory of Terrassa, Xavier Cardona, stressed that the initiative seeks to provide a coherent response to the social and urban reality of the area. The file, once initially approved, will be processed by the Terrassa City Council and will require the approval of the Generalitat commissions before its final approval by the Government, a process expected to last around one year.
“"It was a contradiction, because here we only access from Matadepera, Matadepera gives us the services. Today's act consolidates the will of both city councils."
The addition of the 186 inhabitants of La Font de l’Espardenyera will allow Matadepera to definitively exceed 10,000 inhabitants according to official statistics. This population increase is crucial, as it will mean the increase in the number of councilors from 13 to 17 and the multiplication of state subsidies and aid for areas such as sports and culture, looking ahead to the next municipal elections in 2027.
