Villamayor de Campos approves the ordinance for the cleaning of plots and land

The Plenary of the Villamayor de Campos City Council initially approved the regulatory ordinance for the cleaning of land and plots in urban, developable, and rural soil within the municipal district, in an ordinary session held on September 10, 2026. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Zamora No. 110, dated September 21, 2026, within section III. Local Administration (page 7), with the official reference R-202602228. The publication opens a public information period of thirty days before the regulation can be definitively approved.

The processing complies with articles 49 and 70.2 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, Regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, and article 56 of the Revised Text of the Local Regime. The announcement appears signed by the Mayor in Villamayor de Campos on September 15, 2026, five days after the plenary session in which the provisional agreement was adopted.

The purpose of the ordinance is the cleaning of land and plots in the three types of soil delimited by the announcement: urban, developable, and rural. This is a regulation of strictly municipal competence, supported by the regulatory and sanctioning power of city councils, and aimed at the care of parcels and plots within the municipal district.

Thirty days to examine the file and file objections

• Deadline: thirty days, counted from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Zamora.
• What can be done: interested parties may examine the file and submit any claims they deem appropriate.
• To whom: claims must be addressed to the Plenary of the Corporation.
• Effect of silence: once the deadline has passed without claims, the ordinance will be understood as definitively approved, without the need for a new plenary agreement.

The regulatory backing of the initial approval

The announcement expressly invokes articles 49 and 70.2 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, Regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, and article 56 of the Revised Text of the Local Regime as the basis for the public information process. This is the ordinary procedure for local ordinances and regulations: initial approval by the Plenary, public exhibition, and automatic elevation to definitive status if no objections are presented.

The publication is carried out in section III. Local Administration of the provincial gazette, which is reserved for announcements from the province’s city councils, and is assigned the official reference R-202602228.

A regulation extending across the province

The ordinance of Villamayor de Campos joins a series of regulations of identical purpose that are being processed or have already culminated in other municipalities of Zamora:

• Riofrío de Aliste: initial approval by agreement of the Plenary on December 31, 2025, submitted for public information in the Official Gazette of the Province of Zamora no. 105, of September 9, 2026.
• Villar de Fallaves: initial approval in an extraordinary session on September 8, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Zamora no. 108, of September 16, 2026.
• Cobreros: ordinance already final, published in full in the Official Gazette of the Province of Zamora no. 93, of August 12, 2026, after no claims were filed.

In the case of Cobreros, the published text details duties for the cleaning and clearing of plots, sites, and vacant lands, including the removal of vegetation and flammable materials to reduce the risk of ignition and the spread of fires.

What this means for residents

The initial approval opens the only period in which the owners and residents of Villamayor de Campos can influence the content of the regulation before it becomes final. Anyone interested in the text has thirty days from the day following this publication to consult the file at the Town Hall and present allegations to the Plenary; if no one claims, the ordinance will be approved without further formalities and will take effect regarding the obligation to keep the lands and plots of the municipality clean.
