The board of ASEMPIAB (Association of Companies of the Santa Maria Industrial Estate in Barberà del Vallès) met last Monday, 26 October, at the premises of its member Europastry with the mayor, Mr Xavier Garcés, and the second deputy mayor, Mr Pere Pubill. The aim of the meeting was to present the association’s strategic plan, aligned with the municipality’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to drive improvements in urban planning, mobility, safety and waste management in the industrial area. The meeting highlighted the strategic importance of public-private collaboration as an indispensable driver for modernising the Santa Maria estate in Barberà del Vallès and addressing the needs of the business fabric.
During the meeting, business owners voiced their concern about excessive bureaucracy and slow administrative processes. They also warned of the serious impact of daily traffic jams at the town’s access roads and the collapse of the AP-7/B-30/C-58 corridor, chronic mobility problems that reduce the competitiveness of the estate’s companies.
