A device is underway to eliminate shacks around the Besòs River in Montcada and Reixac

The City Council of Montcada i Reixac, in Vallès Occidental (Barcelona), the Serralada de Marina Park Consortium and Seprona (Nature Protection Service) are carrying out a device this Monday to eliminate a new set of barracks around of the river Besòs.

It is a space where rubble and constructions have recently appeared and where it has been decided to act to prevent it from being used for various functions, from residence to activities related to the underground economy.

Municipal sources detail that the intervention is being carried out in the area known as La Pollancreda (Alameda) of Sant Pere de Reixac, an area "of high ecological value" where "the new settlement was being created in about five hectares."

"At the moment no one lived in the space" City Hall sources have clarified and have added that "given the possibility of this happening, it has been decided to remove all the material" which "will be classified and taken to the green point of the city ".

The performance, which began early this Monday morning, is expected to last throughout the day or even several days.

Two people died in that area in January 2022, poisoned by smoke from a brazier.
