The Local Committee of the Canarian Coalition in San Bartolomé, through its secretary, Eduardo Díaz, has lamented that "the poor management of the socialist mayor, Alexis Tejera, has ruined all the work carried out during the previous term so that Playa Honda could have a vital public space for the coexistence of residents and the realization of multiple activities."
Specifically, it refers to the Playa Honda Urban Park, a project that CC claims that "it left prepared on the table in 2017 (the year in which the contest was called in which the architects Iván Torres Ramón and Martín Toimil Mato were the winners), and that is part of the projects included within the Edusi strategy, whose funds were raised during the previous term under the Presidency of the Canarian Coalition in the Cabildo of Lanzarote; one of the two largest direct fundraising of European funds in the history of the Cabildo."
“Last May we were pleased that the Cabildo announced that the project was finally put out to tender, but the deadline for companies to present their projects has ended and none has done so”, laments Díaz.
The nationalists do not understand "how it is possible that a month after it became known that the contest had been unsuccessful, the only reference that Alexis Tejera has made in his assessment of the two years of mandate has been, simply, that it is in the budget modification phase".
“The mayor has been announcing an urban park for two years that has not yet been put out to tender, selling this project as if it were his own triumph, but in the end it has been a failure because no company has come forward and he has not given any explanation as to why this has happened”, emphasizes the local secretary of CC in San Bartolomé.
The space to be intervened and that "due to the delays will not be able to be released at least until 2023" according to CC, is located in the front and rear esplanade of the Playa Honda institute and has an area of almost 70,000 square meters, where there will be shaded areas and green spaces, sports courts, facilities for the development of outdoor cultural activities.
