Sabadell prioritises streets and security in its 2027 budget
The proposed budget amounts to 303.3 million euros and allocates almost 40 million to public spaces. The proposal still needs to go before the full council, where the PSC holds an absolute majority.
Almost 40 million euros will go to parks and gardens, public works, maintenance, and mobility initiatives. This represents 13.17% of the budget proposed by the government of Sabadell for 2027.
The total budget amounts to 303.3 million euros and would be the last of this term. The City Council wants to allocate seven out of every ten euros to five priorities: public space and safety; employment; care for people; and sustainability. The proposal will be brought before the municipal plenary, and the PSC, with an absolute majority, does not need external support to pass it.
Almost 40 million for public space
The chosen slogan for this part of the budget is "Money to the streets." Parks and gardens will share the boost with public works and maintenance; public transport and mobility initiatives are also included.
Cleaning and waste collection account for another 31.2 million euros. In Gavà, another municipal file plans to remove an abandoned petrol station from Barnasud, according to this local action.
Safety and care for people
Almost 25 million euros will be allocated to expanding the capacity of the Policía Municipal and strengthening community relations. The stated goal is to move towards a safer city.
The allocations for children and older people, along with social action, will exceed 36 million euros. The most notable increase will be in resources for supporting people with dependency needs.
More resources for culture and sport
Culture will grow by 20.49% and the sports area by 26.51%. Education will have 27.5 million euros; housing, 13 million.
Employment and ecological transition
Economic promotion and job creation will have 15.9 million euros. These funds will maintain training and qualification programmes, as well as promote job placement.
For sustainability and ecological transition, 13.6 million euros are planned. The initiatives aim to prepare the city for the effects of climate change and improve its resilience and efficiency.
Mobility includes 1.3 million euros to continue renewing the urban bus fleet and move towards more efficient and sustainable public transport.
