Dear members and supporters,
La Tribune de Planas is your go-to site for all questions concerning Planas and our association, the “Asociación de Vecinos de Planes del Rei” (SOS Planas).
Where do we stand with our legal action?
You may already know: in February 2018, the Pratdip Town Hall appealed the enforcement ruling of December 21, 2017 before the Barcelona Court of Appeal. This was within its rights.
However, it also attempted to exclude our association from the appeal procedure, claiming before the judges that we were not representative of the population of Planes del Rei.
This maneuver failed: the court firmly rejected this argument in a ruling issued in early 2020.
Normally, an appeal is resolved within two years, i.e. by February 2020. But the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously disrupted the justice system.
The Town Hall is now acting as if this appeal were suspensive. However, according to the law, it is not. But due to the lack of political will to enforce it, we remain in a state of legal uncertainty.
The Town Hall continues to refuse to provide basic services (such as street lighting, among others).
Our lawyer, Maître Barquín, informed us that he has still not received the new judicial schedule for this case. However, we can hope for a decision by September, or by the end of 2020.
This ruling is crucial: it will conclude a legal action we began in February 2011 and will force the Town Hall to effectively enforce the July 21, 2016 judgment.
As soon as we have new information, we will be sure to inform you.
The political party Avança Pratdip, which we supported during the last elections, has sent us a message for you. We are pleased to share it below.

Message from Avança Pratdip
To all property owners of Planas del Rei
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, public meetings and assemblies of more than 10 people are prohibited in Catalonia.
Therefore, the annual General Assembly of Avança Pratdip scheduled for August 2020 cannot take place.
Nevertheless, we wish to inform you of the actions we have taken this year with the Pratdip Town Hall. Below you will find the list of letters we have sent. Unfortunately, many went unanswered.
Owners who wish to consult these documents can request them at: av.pratdip@gmail.com
Please rest assured that we continue to defend the interests of Planas:
The grass has been cut, the pool reopened on July 1st, and there have been no water cuts for a year.
But there is still much to do, and we will continue to fight to improve life in Planas.
Evelyne Planet
President of the Executive Committee of Avança Pratdip
