The La Moraleja Owners' Association has sent a letter to residents with two proposals: to declare the urbanisation a historical colony and to concentrate schools in the S-6 Buenavista sector. They also demand that the Alcobendas City Council curb traffic from La Solana and enhance security.
The La Moraleja Owners' Association has sent a letter to residents of the Urbanisations District of Alcobendas analysing the state of La Moraleja, El Soto, El Encinar, and the other urbanisations, and presenting two main proposals to the City Council. The letter, as published by lamiradanorte.com, demands proportional treatment in relation to the economic contribution of these areas to municipal coffers.
The first proposal is to declare La Moraleja a historical colony. The association argues that it is an ecosystem of 950 hectares and eighty years of history, with no equivalent in Spain, and reminds that Madrid already protects El Viso, which is smaller and of lesser ecological value. They assert that the declaration would safeguard the model against speculation and provide access to tax incentives and priority subsidies.
The second initiative refers to the S-6 Buenavista sector, designated for facilities since 2018 with nearly 69 hectares. The association proposes to gather the schools in the area there, which total over thirty centres and between 30,000 and 40,000 students daily across just 55 kilometres of streets. According to their proposal, the schools could reclassify their plots for residential use and thus finance the relocation.
The concentration of schools has reached an unsustainable limit: over thirty schools and between 30,000 and 40,000 students daily on just 55 kilometres of streets.
Regarding traffic, the letter notes that the nearly 1,400 homes in La Solana, in Madrid, exit through El Encinar and La Moraleja instead of the Madrid road network. The association claims that the Alcobendas City Council has accepted this situation without defending its residents and calls for correction.
On security, the owners report an increase in thefts and break-ins, particularly with the so-called “seeding method”, and demand police presence year-round. They also denounce the deterioration of over 50 kilometres of roads and an investment lower than that of San Sebastián de los Reyes, and remind that the acoustic screens for the A-1 and the high-voltage tower are still pending.
The association requests that the municipal plot at Camino Sur 17, whose tender for a second senior living facility was cancelled after their intervention, be allocated solely for public use and never urbanised. They cite the case of El Soto, where the senior living facility has 80 apartments for sale, as a reason for caution.
In the governance chapter, the letter calls for the replacement of the presidents of the Conservation Entities with conflicts of interest and requests oversight of democratic guarantees in their electoral processes. Additionally, it states that there are reports of property and plot data that may have reached real estate agencies.
The letter concludes with a specific request to the Alcobendas City Council: the Historical Colony file, Buenavista as an educational campus, that traffic from La Solana not be diverted to the urbanisations, a security plan with access control, a multi-year paving plan, Camino Sur as non-developable public land, and electoral oversight in the Entities. The association encourages residents to share the letter and join the organisation, available at www.lamoraleja.top.
