La plaça dels Pins in the Xamora neighborhood still shows the aftermath of the windstorm that damaged it last January. The latest agreement between the City Council and residents has set the machinery in full motion to have it ready before summer arrives.

The works, which are already underway, aim to have the square ready within a few months, after the January storm caused visible damage and affected the regular use of the space.

Current state of the works at plaça dels Pins

Impact of the January storm

The wind last January caused significant damage to the square, especially to the trees and urban elements like benches and green areas. This left the space in a condition that hindered its use by residents, who demanded a quick solution.

Agreed immediate actions

The Valls City Council and the neighborhood community reached an agreement to speed up repairs. This pact involves immediate intervention to repair the damage and prepare the square for summer, a period when higher attendance is expected.

Residents and municipal management: keys to the process

Collaboration between City Council and residents

Resident pressure was key to getting the council to act quickly. This joint effort has allowed defining a tight construction schedule, prioritizing making the square functional and safe.

Importance of the square for the neighborhood

La plaça dels Pins is a basic meeting point for the residents of Xamora. Restoring it not only improves local quality of life but also prevents the space from becoming deteriorated for months.

Schedule and expected completion

Intervention planned until summer

The works began in early May and the schedule foresees finishing them before the end of June, just before summer arrives and use of the square peaks.

The challenge of keeping the square in good condition

The council must ensure that the repair is resistant to future storms, avoiding damage like that of January from happening so easily again. Meanwhile, residents hope this effort will keep the square lively and safe.

La plaça dels Pins is preparing to welcome summer with the urgency of those who know time does not forgive.
