Andorra la Vella Civic Agents Conduct 3,043 Checks, Issue 26 Fines in 9 Months

Civic agents in Andorra la Vella performed 3,043 checks from January to September, leading to 26 fines for issues mainly involving public coexistence and pet ownership rules.

Activity increased progressively across the quarters to meet seasonal needs. The first quarter recorded 702 checks, 80 warnings, and 11 fines—five for coexistence violations such as public hygiene lapses, dumping rubbish outside permitted hours, or feeding street animals, and six for pet-related problems like walking dogs without leashes or failing to carry water bottles for urine dilution.

The second quarter saw 962 checks, 91 warnings, and 11 fines: eight linked to pet ownership, two to coexistence breaches, and one to terrace occupancy.

The third quarter peaked at 1,379 checks with four fines—two for unregistered animals missing microchips, one for a coexistence issue, and one for terrace controls.

Traffic councillor Xavier Surana highlighted the agents' blend of information, prevention, and monitoring of potential municipal ordinance violations.

Public Services and Environment councillor Jordi Cabanes underscored their educational role in raising awareness, with street presence promoting civility and responsible use of public spaces for a safer parish. Priorities shift seasonally, focusing on coexistence in winter and terraces and pets in spring and summer.
