In early August 2026, the Lleida City Council approved the installation of video‑surveillance cameras at the Edil Saturnino plaza and launched a renovation of the Escorxador plaza to add inclusive play equipment. Both projects are co‑financed by European Union funds and aim to enhance safety for commuters and accessibility for children.

Two days later, the mayor of Castellón announced a two‑year municipal contract with the firm Maquiver to upgrade 33 playgrounds across the city. The €324,000 programme involves repairing rubber surfacing, replacing slide and swing anchors, fixing climbing nets, removing graffiti and improving seating, with work scheduled through August and September. These initiatives illustrate a broader trend among Spanish municipalities to invest in public‑space improvements, combining safety measures and recreational upgrades using local and EU resources.
