The Deputy of the Common Rafael Yanes has presented his Annual Report for the year 2022. In the particular case of Lanzarote, this text reflects that the most frequent complaints from the residents are in the areas of Seniors, Housing, Territorial Policy and Disability.
Specifically, these first four points account for 76 of the 154 claims submitted to the Deputy of the Common last year. In addition, 54 complaints were still in process as of December 31. The majority corresponds to the areas of Housing, Territorial Policy and Dependency. Meanwhile, complaints in the areas of Public Safety, Information Technology or Communication, Sports and Public Procurement do not exceed one per topic.
Lanzarote is the fourth island that has presented the most new complaints. Only behind the capital islands and La Palma. However, it has the third highest rate per inhabitant, 9.05 complaints per 10,000 inhabitants, lower than the Archipelago, only above Gran Canaria and La Graciosa. Specifically, the Eighth Island has not submitted any procedure to the Deputy of the Common.
At least five of the 23 complaints filed in Lanzarote for any complaint about Territorial Policy fell on the Teguise City Council. Most have been initiated to denounce the inactivity of the public administration when processing complaints filed with the commission of urban infractions, as well as the delay in resolving cadastral files and unresolved building license applications.
To continue, among the complaints about the Environment (three), at least one of them included complaints about illegal farms and the claims of the camel drivers of Lanzarote.
In addition, the Deputy of the Common has made an extraordinary report to address the problem of access to housing in the Canary Islands.
