Citizen Consultation - Castilla la Nueva

The Citizen Citizenship of Castilla La Nueva is carried out through the online platform of the Mayor's Office. This participatory space was developed within the framework of the Municipal Development Plan 2016-2019 and the Online Government Strategy, with the objective of knowing the opinion of the civil society regarding policies and strategies of public interest. This mechanism of electronic participation allows citizens to give an opinion about the proposal put forward by the municipality or about the suggestions of other citizens. In addition, you can also give innovative suggestions to problems and participate in some of the decision-making processes of the Municipality. The platform has given space to discussions regarding issues such as urban planning and the management of public areas, and the implementation of policies and cultural activities.
