The Town Council of Les Franqueses del Vallès has achieved a 91.1% in the municipal transparency index, ranking second among municipalities with populations between 20,000 and 50,000 inhabitants.

The index assesses the degree of compliance with the right to information and the active publicity of the Town Council.
