Our objectives

In recent months, residents across Poble Sec have reported

• Increasing incidents of violence in public spaces, particularly at night
• Open drug taking and dealing in residential streets, including near schools and parks
• Illegal squatting affecting buildings across the neighbourhood, with associated antisocial behaviour
• A general sense that public space has become less safe and less welcoming

These are not impressions — they are documented, repeated experiences shared by many neighbours.

• Sustained attention to the specific streets and public spaces most affected
• Meaningful engagement through the Consell de Barri
• Action on illegally squatted properties through the appropriate housing and legal channels
• Coordination with social services to ensure vulnerable people receive support, not simply displacement

• Increased and consistent presence in the most affected areas
• A dedicated local contact point for community liaison
• Action against drug trafficking networks — distinct from, and not at the expense of, support for people struggling with addiction
• Transparent communication with the community about what is and isn’t possible

• Partnership in a broad neighbourhood coalition
• Support in connecting vulnerable people with the help they need
• Participation in an ongoing neighbourhood dialogue about safety and wellbeing
