Loures council guarantees it will continue to demolish shacks in Talude Militar

The Mayor of Loures confirmed that municipal teams are continuing to demolish clandestine structures in the Talude Militar neighbourhood, regardless of ongoing uncertainties regarding the land's ownership. The municipality is currently awaiting a court decision on injunctions that previously suspended a large-scale demolition operation initiated in July 2025.

Why it matters

This ongoing dispute involves municipal demolition policy; if you live in or have property interests in clandestine housing in Loures, your situation may be subject to future council action or judicial rulings.
