The Spata–Artemida Municipal Council will hold an in-person meeting on Tuesday 6 October at 18:00, in the Municipal Offices hall, on the corner of Vas. Pavlou and Fleming Streets in Spata. The invitation from the chairman, Dionysios Fragkos (ref. no. 80940/2-10-2026), lists 15 items on the agenda. It refers to the new Local Government Code (Law 5314/2026), from which four of the items arise directly. The meeting is open to the public.
Basketball courts (questions 8–13)
Six issues concern who will use the council’s basketball courts during the 2026–2027 season. AOK Spata is requesting playing times at the basketball court at the Sports Centre in block 334 of Artemida and at the indoor court at the ‘Dimitris Dimitriou’ stadium in Spata. GAIA, EAOS and AO Artemis have also submitted requests for the same indoor facility, and the Council will approve the annual schedule for its use.
AO Artemis has already been using the O.T. 334 sports ground for some time. On 15 September, it signed a private agreement based on Decision 125/2026 regarding the basketball academies: Mondays and Fridays 18:00–19:30 and Saturdays 10:30–12:00. The clubs pay a monthly usage fee. The agreement prohibits clubs from subletting the venue to third parties or holding events there, and the Council may withdraw training slots from a club that brings fewer than half the athletes it has registered to training sessions.
Mazareko (Topic 4)
The indoor facility in Mazareko is not included in the allocation. Work costing €1,804,944 is due to commence there, and the Council is being asked to approve the implementation plan, which the Municipal Committee had already approved on Friday 2 October. Until 7 September, the indoor arena was being used by the OAKA, as we had reported.
Financial assistance for residents (item 14)
The Council will earmark the funds for the provision of financial assistance to residents of the municipality, in accordance with Article 525 of the new Code. The call for applications does not specify either the amount or the recipients. These details will be set out in the decision once it is published on the Diafania portal.
Traffic arrangements (item 2)
Measures relating to horizontal and vertical road markings on municipal roads in Spata and Artemida are due to be approved; these have already been recommended by the Municipal Committee in Decision 561/2026. The resolution has not yet been published on the ‘Diafania’ transparency portal, so it is not yet known which roads are affected.
The rest
The Council will draw up its Rules of Procedure (item 1), in accordance with Article 120 of the new Code. It will vote on the amendment to the Internal Service Regulations to create new permanent staff posts (item 3, Municipal Committee Decision 618/2026). It will also establish a permanent post held by a specific individual, in accordance with a court ruling from 2020 (item 5). The meeting will also discuss the correction of the cadastral details of a property in Spata (item 6). Regarding the ‘Authentic Athens Marathon’ (item 7), the agenda does not explain what the Municipality is being asked to decide.
Finally, the Tax Dispute Resolution Committee, which had been established by Decision 20/2026, is dissolved. In its place, a Committee for the Amicable Settlement of Disputes is established, pursuant to Article 433 of the new Code (item 15). A resident who disputes municipal charges or fines may refer the matter to this body before taking the matter to court.
