Mataró sets improvement in safety and the environment as mandate priorities

The preparation of the 2024-2027 Mandate Plan is based on the document “Let's join together so that Mataró wins: municipal agreement for a city with opportunities for all” signed before the plenary session of the constitution of the Mataró City Council (Maresme) by the two groups that make up the Government Municipal.

There will be an impact on sustainable mobility by promoting environmentally friendly means of transport, the green economy will be promoted by promoting a change in the productive model in which sustainability is prioritized and a zero waste strategy will be adopted that demonstrates the city's commitment. with responsible management of resources. Finally, strategic lines will be deployed with actions towards accessible housing, the increase of green areas and the promotion of the renaturalization of the city.

As reflected in the Urban Agenda Action Plan, health will be the guiding thread in the design and deployment of priority actions. Emphasis will be placed on inclusive education, attention and care for the elderly, sports practice will be promoted and culture will be made available to everyone.

Regarding issues of municipal organization, the process of organizational change of the City Council will continue, an opportunity to adjust internal structures and processes with the aim of better responding to the needs of the community. The intention is to generate better conditions so that municipal action multiplies its effects and impacts in the city for the benefit of the general well-being of the population.

The Mandate Plan is presented accompanied by the 2023-2027 Investment Plan. The forecast is that the City Council, Aigües de Mataró and PUMSA will allocate 102.6 million euros to investment in the next four years, among which the Re-Natura project, the video surveillance master plan, the cover of the Cirera runway, the redevelopment of Argentona street or the urban planning of Sorrall and the Cirera road, as well as actions to improve the N-II and the urbanization of the Iveco-Pegaso sector.
