A resident of Manresa says he is fed up with having to act as a de facto police officer in Puigterrà park because of botellón and loud music. He says the situation has left him intervening himself when he believes the problem should be handled by the authorities.
The complaint centres on what he describes as repeated gatherings in the park, with noise and drinking affecting the area. According to the resident, the police response has not been enough to stop the behaviour.
Manresa is one of the towns where neighbourhood complaints about public order can quickly become a wider civic issue. For more local coverage across Catalonia, see our news page.
The resident’s criticism is focused on inaction, not on a single isolated incident. He says the pattern has continued over time, which is why he feels forced to step in personally.
