Sant Just Town Council will reinforce street cleaning in the Plana Padrosa–Bellsoleig neighborhood with a new mechanical street sweeper that will operate on Friday afternoons to improve road maintenance.

The Harmonia Senior Choir will perform during TVE's Sunday Mass on 26 July, the Ateneu has opened registrations for a new beginner's bridge course, and this week we also interviewed Toni Méndez, from the Sub-60 group, about the Festa Major's '80s Party'.
Society
Sant Just's markets will modify their opening hours during the summer, with the Municipal Market closed from 10 to 24 August. The Regional Observatory has found that women continue to take on the majority of household and caregiving responsibilities.
