Mallorca: Palma plans 50 police posts and sewage upgrade

Palma, Mallorca: the city plans 50 new local police posts and further work on its Palma II sewage treatment plant in its 2027 budget. Councillor Llorenç Bauzá de Keizer presented the plans on Thursday, 5 November. They also include money for a new security complex and stronger lifeguard services on Palma’s beaches.

Police posts and a new security complex

The city plans to include the 50 police posts in its 2027 public recruitment offer. It also wants to equip officers with body-worn cameras. The budget for public safety and civic affairs is nearly €131.4 million, up from about €127.9 million the year before.

A further €4.5 million would move forward the planned security complex in Nou Llevant, with a new local police station and an extension to the central fire station. The plans also set aside €1.2 million for new fire service vehicles.

Sewage works and beach lifeguards

Palma’s municipal utility, Emaya, plans to invest €38.15 million in total. Of that, €23.38 million is earmarked for sewage treatment works, including finishing the first phase of the new Palma II plant and starting the second. Another €4.74 million would go towards renewing water and sewer networks.

On Palma’s beaches, the city has budgeted €2.3 million for lifeguard services. A new contract is intended to bring in more staff and equipment, addressing shortcomings the council identified in the previous one.
