When the Village Square Is No Longer Safe: Drugs in the Center of Artà

Answer

What can a Mallorca village do when drug dealing affects the town centre?

A village can combine several measures: visible patrols, better lighting, clearer reporting channels and cooperation between police, town hall and social services. In Artà, residents also want attention to the places where activity happens, such as side streets, empty corners or unused premises. The goal is to make the centre feel usable again, not just to react after incidents.
