“This intervention represents an improvement in the funerary capacity of the municipality and responds to one of the most urgent demands of the citizens”, he pointed out.
Expansion of the Santa Margarita Cemetery
The Teguise City Council also announces that it will carry out the expansion of the Santa Margarita Cemetery, in Guatiza, with a project currently in the bidding phase that contemplates the construction of 30 new niches and 12 columbariums for ashes, with a planned budget of 40,000 euros.
“We know the special concern of the families of Guatiza, who have conveyed it to us on numerous occasions and with great insistence. Therefore, this expansion will be the next work that we will face in funerary matters, with the commitment that the works can begin in the coming months”, Robayna highlighted.
