The Zaldibar Town Hall has opened the period for citizens to submit ideas for the 2027 participatory budgets, which runs until November 26. Proposals can be submitted at the municipal offices or at the library.

Residents of Zaldibar can now submit ideas, proposals, and projects for the 2027 participatory budgets. The deadline for submitting these proposals to the town hall is November 26. Submissions can be made by filling out forms at the municipal offices or by using the provided sheets in a box located at the library.
After the submission period closes, the municipal technical office will analyze the proposals to determine their feasibility and whether they fall within the allocated budget. The Zaldibar Town Hall has set aside 20,000 euros for the 2027 participatory budgets.
The voting period for the proposals will begin on January 21, when the town hall will convene a public assembly. Following this, ideas can be voted on online until February 3. The winning proposals will then be incorporated into the 2027 municipal budget.
In addition to the 2027 participatory budgets, the Zaldibar Town Hall reports that projects from the 2025 and 2026 winning proposals are also underway. The renovation of the Olazar fountains is scheduled to begin before the end of the year and will be operational by spring. Furthermore, the project to renovate the Gernikako Arbola square will be put out to tender before 2027. This renovation will increase the number of trees by 30% and expand the green area by 70%, along with the creation of a play area made from organic materials.
