28/06/06 Greetings from the mayor of Granollers
In our society, with the ever-increasing spread of new technologies, Internet has become a basic tool of communication and relation not only amongst individuals but also between the local administration and the citizenry.
Through the web, town halls have a new channel for performing their main functions: making the services they offer available to citizens and providing information about issues affecting them, while at the same time enabling what no other medium can do: getting responses from users in real time. Thus, the web provides a new way of helping citizens, of gathering their requests and suggestions and providing them with quick responses, thus bringing them closer to the administration.
The goal of our website is to serve as the city's letter of presentation to all Internauts. We are aware of the vast number of people who use Internet to gather information and find out about services, news and opportunities offered by towns. For this reason, the contents of the municipal website are designed so that users can get an overall idea about Granollers, about what's happening in the town, about the entities here, about the activities and events organised and their history, and about other issues. We want to encourage everyone who uses Internet often, as well as those who may not connect so often, to continue keeping up this communication exchange by forwarding us your opinions in order to help us make Granollers a city that is increasingly open and capable of meeting the new needs that arise.
