The plenary of Terrassa has given green light to several proposals promoted by the educational community and social entities, with special attention to housing, mobility and the situation of the Ègara School in Can Parellada. Among the approved agreements are six measures to improve access to housing in the city and the study of pending needs in an educational center of the district.
Six agreements on housing with incorporation into the municipal plan
The Observatori dels Drets Social de Terrassa and students from the Vedruna Vall school have presented six agreements to improve the housing situation in Terrassa. The initiative has reached the municipal debate with the focus placed on strengthening local policies in this area.
Noel Duque, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Social Services, has affirmed that all proposals will be automatically included in the Housing Plan. The announcement places these measures within the municipal planning already foreseen to address one of the city's main social concerns.
Unanimous support for the bike lane on Béjar avenue
In the chapter of mobility, the AFA of the Enxaneta school and the BiciTerrassa Club have defended the construction of a bidirectional bike lane on the northern part of Béjar avenue. The proposal has received the support of all municipal groups, which facilitates its political fit in future actions.
"It is the first time we vote in favor, but we believe it is a viable proposal" - Marta Giménez, PP
The unanimous support gives continuity to a demand focused on improving cyclist mobility at this point of the city, in an environment with the presence of an educational community and usual transit of residents.
The Ègara School demands improvements in Can Parellada
Another of the approved proposals has put the focus on the Ègara School, located in the neighborhood of Can Parellada. The AFA and the faculty of the center have asked that its situation be studied given the need to introduce improvements.
"Increase in ratios, the disappearance of the reception classroom and two and a half fewer teachers" - Mont Busquets, director of the center
The request from Escuela Ègara has also been supported by all municipal groups. The agreement opens the door to review the center's needs at a time when the management reports more pressure in the classrooms and fewer available resources.
With these decisions, the plenary has gathered several demands arisen from schools, families and entities of Terrassa, in matters that directly affect the daily life of the neighborhoods, from access to housing to mobility and the conditions of educational facilities.
