en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Madrid City Council plans to pilot the installation of lockers for e-commerce delivery on some streets in the Cuatro Caminos neighborhood in the northern part of the capital.

The pilot project has drawn criticism from municipal opposition, who argue that it is an attack on local businesses, as these currently handle a large volume of parcel collection services. Opponents also condemn the practice of ceding the use of public space to large private companies.

The companies owning the lockers will be responsible for providing, installing, and operating these devices, and must maintain the standards set by the Madrid City Council. Operators are required to bear all costs associated with these facilities.

After the pilot period, the city council will decide whether to retain these lockers based on one year of operation and classify them as urban furniture.
