The mayor of Salou promotes a table to coordinate 5 forces against 'top manta'

The mayor of Salou, Pere Granados, has convened five different bodies to create a coordination table against 'top manta'. This initiative comes after the municipal plenary unanimously approved a proposal to combat an increasingly present issue on the Costa Daurada.

The measure aims to bring together police forces, political representatives, and businesspeople to share information and coordinate specific and immediate actions against illegal street vending that affects local coexistence.

The key actors of the coordination table

Which bodies will participate in this table?

The mayor has sent invitations to the Government delegate and the deputy delegate of the Spanish government, Interior representatives, as well as members of ANDEMA (Association for the Defense of the Brand). The mayor of Cambrils, local police chiefs, and security councilors from Salou and Cambrils will also participate.

Why is this coordination relevant for the residents?

This union of actors is crucial because 'top manta' does not recognize municipal boundaries. Coordination among bodies will allow a more effective and systematic response, avoiding duplication and maximizing resources to protect businesses and citizen security.

Planned steps and the future of coordination

What immediate actions are planned?

The table will work to establish common protocols, share data, and define joint operations that increase police presence and sanctions. An information campaign is also planned to raise awareness among citizens and tourists.

When is the table expected to start operating?

The first meeting is scheduled for upcoming dates, yet to be confirmed, but with a clear intention to launch the first actions quickly to curb the expansion of 'top manta' before the high season.
