The Arrecife City Council has created the Beach Management Committee this Tuesday morning, a support and advisory body for the improvement of the capital's beaches. The rule to preserve the Blue Flag on El Reducto beach also requires that Arrecife have this management committee.
This participation body is made up, in addition to the Department of Beaches, by the other municipal areas that are linked to public services on El Reducto beach, as well as a representation of the tourist, commercial and leisure agents that operate in the surroundings of the beaches of Arrecife.
The constitution of this committee has taken place in the Municipal Archive hall where the City Council highlights that the dispersion and safety distance measures against Covid-19 have been very present by the attendees.
The Councilor of the Beaches Area in the capital's City Council, Ángela Hernández, who is also the head of the Environment Area, stated that with the constitution of this committee, the aim is to give a boost, with the participation of social agents present in Arrecife, to address new proposals or suggestions that will allow us to continue strengthening public services on El Reducto beach, and on others that we want to incorporate into the Blue Flag.
Hernández also announced that approval has been received from Costas to be able to tender for the new seasonal and hammock services on El Reducto beach, after the procedures carried out by the City Council.
