Ten proposals to boost the neighbourhood of El Besòs i el Maresme
The Full Council unanimously agrees on a ten-point roadmap for future improvements in different spheres of community life in this neighbourhood in Sant Martí. The proposals came from a working commission with 25 organisations and were agreed on with all municipal groups, based on the Commitment to El Besòs i el Maresme from two years ago.![](https://media-edg.barcelona.cat/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/22105833/Compromis-pel-Besos-i-el-Maresme-760x428.jpg)
The ten proposals are:
- Strengthen and update the commitment to move forward with the housing renovation plan.
- Strengthen and improve teaching centres and their links with culture and sport.
- Strengthen primary healthcare.
- Make progress with social cohesion in the neighbourhood, driving the local economy.
- Achieve a greener neighbourhood, committed to the climate emergency.
- Work towards a clean neighbourhood which is identified by its civic attitude and harmony.
- Eliminate the digital divide.
- Strengthen security.
- Set out an investment plan which can be assessed.
- Designate a commissioner for the Commitment to El Besòs i el Maresme and establish assessment mechanisms with an external body.
Approved in October 2020, the Commitment to El Besòs i el Maresme already set out a ten-point plan with over sixty measures to be implemented, a third of them with a specific calendar. Notably, a large number of the measures refer to teaching and the climate emergency. The measures are geared towards a period of fifteen years and aimed at avoiding local residents having to leave the neighbourhood to pursue their life projects elsewhere.
