The neglect by some visitors to the Romanesque church of Sant Cerni de Nagol, one of Sant Julià’s prized sites, is causing frustration among nearby residents and lovers of the place. Although bins have been placed around the church for disposing of waste, some people ignore them and leave rubbish, remains of drinking gatherings and other debris.
This is not the first time neighbours of Nagol and regular visitors have complained about the situation. They note that it is unrealistic to expect the administration or traffic officers to supervise the area at all times.
Even with the imminent approval of a new hygiene ordinance and the creation of civic agents, locals warn the problem may not be completely solved by regulations alone. They are calling for greater personal responsibility and collective civic awareness to protect the site.
