The residents of Los Ancones say they "can't take it anymore" with the "situation of abandonment" that the town is going through and are asking the Teguise City Council and the Cabildo of Lanzarote for solutions.
The main reason for their complaint focuses on the accessibility problems presented by the main road, the "only way" to enter Los Ancones, especially for residents.
"It is another town in the municipality, we pay taxes and not a single euro is invested in conditioning the road," says a resident of the town. "We have been asking for fixed maintenance for more than 25 years and they do not comply with what is required, we are tired of the false promises of the CC government group."
The residents highlight how "dangerous" it is to drive their vehicles on the road, due to the condition of the road, and assure that "there have already been fall accidents, both of tourists and athletes." In addition, they point out that they themselves have had to "repair their own vehicles a few times" due to the deterioration of the road.
They also add that "there is a lack of signage to identify the entrance to it", as well as public lighting and maintenance of the streets, which has not been carried out "for 249 days, that is, seven months."
Likewise, he emphasizes that "there is not" enough cleaning, since the beach avenue "is destroyed" and they have put "a tray as a garbage container." "The neighbors refuse to dump due to the wind that lashes the area and the damage it can cause to the environment," the complaint reads.
Therefore, the neighbors demand "a decent life" and point out that "politics in Lanzarote is more about tourism or celebrations in Teguise, but nothing for the town."
"Now that the elections are approaching, the CC government group will come to the town, but then they will forget about us", they add. "Where is the investment of taxes in the town of Los Ancones?"
