The PSOE of Teguise has expressed its satisfaction for the approval in the plenary session last Thursday of a motion of its own to expedite the resolution of applications for licenses and authorizations that citizens and companies make to the City Council.
"In the municipality it is common for a license application for the construction of a single-family home, the segregation of a farm or the demolition license of a property to be delayed more than a year, despite the promises made and broken by the mayor that they would be resolved in three months and after almost a decade of the Canarian Coalition governing the Municipality", says the PSOE spokesperson in Teguise, Marcos Bergaz.
“Those who pay their taxes cannot wait more than a year to have their requests answered”, adds Bergaz, who affirms that this delay is not only suffered by citizens and companies, but "also by the public administrations themselves, with numerous requests for inter-administrative cooperation pending definitive resolution by the City Council led by Oswaldo Betancort".
Measures contemplated in the initiative
The approved motion contemplates, among other measures, the need for a new space to locate the Technical Office. And it is that, according to the socialists, the current building "is too small, having coverage and accessibility problems", being "essential that the workers of the Technical Office have adequate facilities where to develop their work and serve citizens".
Strengthening the staff of the Technical Office and its organization is another of the issues raised by the PSOE, as well as the creation of a commission together with the professional associations (architects, quantity surveyors...) to address proposals for improvement in the procedures and documentation of the files for granting licenses, authorizations and other urban titles.
“We already knew that this government group managed at a slow pace, but what happens with the granting of licenses and authorizations can be described as a traffic jam. That is why it is necessary to adopt measures that allow overcoming the current situation so that citizens, companies and other administrations do not despair waiting for their requests to be resolved”, concludes Marcos Bergaz.
