What Ajuntament de les Franqueses del Vallès does

Ajuntament de les Franqueses del Vallès is the municipal government council serving the municipality of Les Franqueses del Vallès, located in the Vallès Oriental comarca of Catalonia, Spain. It delivers local public administration across five districts (Bellavista, Corró d'Avall, Corró d'Amunt, Llerona, and Marata) to the resident population through a portfolio of physical facilities and digital platforms. Core services include administrative procedures via the Seu Electrònica electronic headquarters, citizen issue reporting through the Les Franqueses Connecta mobile application, cultural programming across two municipal libraries, the Teatre Auditori de Bellavista, and Can Font Centre d'Art i Noves Tecnologies, as well as sports infrastructure comprising municipal swimming pools, the newly opened Skatepark Cal Gavatx (836 m², June 2025), and municipal sports zones. Civic engagement is supported through the Participa les Franqueses del Vallès platform and a Directori d'Entitats listing over 50 registered associations.

The underlying technology stack is anchored by the Consorci Administració Oberta de Catalunya (AOC) e-government platform, which provides the Seu Electrònica, Portal de Transparència, and electronic document management. The municipality supplements this with its own Les Franqueses Connecta mobile application (Android and iOS), an open data portal publishing public datasets in reusable formats, and Google Analytics for web statistics with IP anonymization enabled. Multi-language citizen access is available in Catalan, Spanish, English, German, and French, with dedicated WhatsApp channels including one for seniors aged 65 and over. The organization maintains 78 employees and is led by Mayor Juan Antonio Corchado Ponce under the Pla d'Acció Municipal (PAM) 2023-2027.

Revenue is generated exclusively through public funding mechanisms: local taxes (IBI property tax, IAE business tax, IVTM vehicle tax), transfers from the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Spanish central government, and service fees for water supply, waste management, and administrative procedures. There is no commercial pricing model. Citizen outreach is conducted across a wide channel mix including the municipal website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, Telegram, WhatsApp, a digital newsletter (Butlletí 5.1), and in-person community events. The council is operationally supported by the Diputació de Barcelona for website design and technical assistance.

Direct peers

• Ajuntament de Granollers: Capital municipality of the Vallès Oriental comarca — the same county as Les Franqueses del Vallès. Directly comparable as a mid-size Catalan municipal government delivering the same stack of e-government, cultural, sports, and citizen-participation services to a similar resident base in the same geographic area.
• Ajuntament de Mollet del Vallès: Neighboring municipality in Vallès Oriental with comparable population scale and service portfolio (libraries, sports facilities, electronic administration). Operates under the same Generalitat de Catalunya and Diputació de Barcelona frameworks, making service-delivery models directly comparable.
• Ajuntament de Canovelles: Adjacent municipality to Les Franqueses del Vallès within Vallès Oriental. Similar size and demographic profile; offers a directly comparable benchmark for small-municipality service delivery, digital administration rollout, and citizen engagement.
• Ajuntament de la Garriga: Vallès Oriental municipality with comparable population scale and an active cultural/sports programming mix (Teatre, Biblioteques, Piscines). Operates within the same AOC and Diputació de Barcelona frameworks, making it a clean comparison for digital and cultural service delivery.
• Ajuntament de Cardedeu: Neighboring Vallès Oriental municipality of similar size, also operating municipal libraries, sports facilities, and electronic administration via AOC.

• Ajuntament de Terrassa: Major Vallès municipality operating an expanded set of citizen services, large cultural/sports facilities, and a more advanced digital government stack. Comparable in service mix but materially larger in scale and budget.

Others

• Consorci Administració Oberta de Catalunya (AOC): Technology and infrastructure partner that supplies Les Franqueses' electronic administration, transparency, and open-data platforms. Not a competing municipality, but a critical ecosystem enabler whose roadmap directly shapes the council's digital capabilities and cost structure.

Acts as both a service provider and policy shaper for the council's modernization agenda.
