Ajuntament de Polinyà

What Ajuntament de Polinyà does

Ajuntament de Polinyà is the municipal government of Polinyà, a town of approximately 8,700 residents in the Vallès Occidental comarca of Catalonia, Spain. It operates as a public administrative institution delivering the full range of statutory municipal services to citizens, local commerce (~150 establishments), industrial zones (four polígons including Can Humet), and demographic sub-segments including youth (142 minor-related police cases in 2025), seniors (252 cases attended), and vulnerable populations served by climate-refuge programs such as free summer pool access during heat waves. Its service portfolio spans citizen security via the 50-year-old Local Police, public health through Salut Pública, environmental management (Deixalleria recycling facility, bulky waste collection, environmental police), urban maintenance (Via pública), citizen mediation, and emergency response including a six-unit Cardiac Protection Network operational since 2019.

The municipality runs a modern digital infrastructure built around three core platforms: the Seu Electrònica (polinya.eadministracio.cat) for electronic administrative procedures and a citizen folder, the Decidim-based Plataforma de Participació Ciutadana (decidim-polinya.diba.cat) for participatory processes, and the multi-language official website (Catalan, Spanish, English, German, French) supported by a mobile app, RSS syndication, and active social channels (Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram). The technical backbone of its energy strategy comprises rooftop photovoltaic installations, a 15 kWh battery storage system at El Cívic, electric street-cleaning equipment, and a binding 2022 Pla de Transició Energètica targeting a 35% reduction in municipal energy consumption, 26% self-sufficiency, and 50% CO2 reduction. Complementing this, citizen safety is enforced through a network of public defibrillators, environmental police, and incident-reporting integration with the mobile app.

Ajuntament de Polinyà is funded through a four-stream revenue model: local taxes and fees (IBI property tax, economic activity taxes, water/waste fees), state and Generalitat de Catalunya transfers, European Union funding (Next GenerationEU via Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia), and unit-priced service fees (municipal pool, cemetery, bulk waste). Core municipal services are delivered free at point of use, funded through taxation. Distribution relies on six physical office locations (Plaça Vila headquarters, Office of Services to People, Governance, Environment, Public Health, Deixalleria) and electronic channels, with strategic partnerships sustaining capability: Diputació de Barcelona for technical assistance and co-financing, Generalitat de Catalunya for regional coordination, Mossos d'Esquadra and Guardia Civil for joint security, and the Associació de Comerciants de Polinyà for commercial promotion.
