The Teguise City Council has reported the completion of the demolition works of the urban skeleton that was located in Costa Teguise, specifically in the plot called 242b, which is located in the part of the town closest to Los Ancones, an initiative that allows improving the image of the municipality.
The mayoress of Teguise, Olivia Duque, confirms that the current government group set as one of its short-term objectives that the property of the infrastructure carry out the demolition of this structure, which was initially going to be used for a hotel establishment. In this way, compliance is given to the 2007 ruling through which the nullity of the municipal building permit was decreed.
“It is a step that allows us to restore legality and respect for the environment thanks to the work carried out by the Mayor's Office and the Department of Urban Planning since the beginning of the mandate”, explains Olivia Duque.
The mayoress explains that during the first weeks after the municipal government was formed, she held a meeting with the owners of the skeleton. “In that meeting, in which councilor Rita Hernández was also present, we managed to get the owners to assume the demolition project prepared by the Teguise City Council”, she confirms.
For her part, the Councilor for Urban Planning, Rita Hernández, details that “the fact that after more than 15 years the skeleton has been demolished demonstrates the commitment of the government team to carry out all the actions that allow Teguise to be an example of urban planning that respects the environment”.
Both Olivia Duque and Rita Hernández report that this is the second skeleton that has been demolished in Teguise and assure that "the City Council will continue working to carry out the demolition of some of the abandoned built structures in the town." “We also want the municipality to be the safest in Lanzarote, preventing these unfinished properties from being occupied”, they said. They added that "they will continue negotiating with the owners of those skeletons, which in many cases are with banking entities".
