Castellcir initially approves the executive project for the new La Popa school

The Plenary of the Castellcir City Council initially approved, in an ordinary session held on October 8, 2026, the Executive Project for the new La Popa School of Castellcir, with a budget of 3,973,833.55 euros, VAT included. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona (BOPB) on October 13, 2026, with the official reference CVE 202610152334, and a public information period of thirty business days is opened to submit allegations.

The announcement bears the signature of the mayor, Eduard Guiteras Paré, dated October 9, 2026, and is processed in accordance with the regulations on works and services of local entities and urban planning of Catalonia. The publication in the provincial gazette is the mechanism that activates the calculation of the term and guarantees citizen participation in a school facility project.

Public information for thirty business days

The file is submitted for public information for a period of thirty business days, which begins to count from the last publication of the announcement. This dissemination is carried out through three simultaneous channels:

• The Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona (BOPB).
• The notice board of the Castellcir City Council.
• The electronic notice board (eTauler) of the Castellcir City Council.

During this period, interested parties may examine the file and submit any allegations they deem appropriate. Since the count begins with the last of the publications, the effective deadline will depend on the calendar of the three dissemination channels.

Online consultation of the file

In addition to in-person consultation, the Castellcir City Council enables the consultation of the file on the municipal website, at the address https://www.castellcir.cat/actualitat/noticies/projecte-executiu-de-lescola-nova-la-popa-de-castellcir.html. The documentation is thus accessible to families, neighbors, and any person interested in the project.

The processing is based on sections 1 and 2 of article 37 of Decree 179/1995, of June 13, which approves the Regulation of Works, Activities and Services of Local Entities; on articles 72 and 119.2 of Legislative Decree 1/2010, of August 3, which approves the Recast Text of the Urban Planning Law of Catalonia; and on article 52.2 of Law 26/2010, of August 3, on the legal regime and procedure of the public administrations of Catalonia.

Impact for the municipality

The initial approval of the executive project is a preliminary step in the processing of the work and conditions the construction schedule of the new school facility. For Castellcir, the new school La Popa represents an investment of nearly four million euros in educational facilities, with direct effects on the families and students of the municipality. The public information period now open is the window for citizens to express their views before the agreement becomes final.
