The Popular Party in the Arrecife City Council has stated that it will "fight" for the Arrecife City Council to finance the installation of elevators in the Valterra building known as the 80-home building, located in front of the neighborhood's health center. According to the councilor and president of the Lanzarote Popular Party, Ástrid Pérez, the local administrations, in this case the City Council, "are obligated to collaborate with the residents who have been suffering for years and years from the enormous accessibility problems presented by the six-story building."

"Back in the time of the Popular Party government with Cándido Reguera, we were aware of the serious difficulties that families, especially the elderly or young children, had in accessing their homes in a building with so many floors without an elevator," says Astrid Pérez, who states that "at the time, significant progress was made on a proposal for the installation of several elevators and walkways to guarantee the mobility of a building in which, let's not forget, 80 families live." "What we want now is for the government group to take up this issue again and consider the necessary financing for its execution in the corporation's budget for this year," she explains. 

According to the Popular Party member, "what cannot be is that the socialist government, which talks so much about social issues, has spent this entire legislature without unblocking a single one of the pending housing issues in the capital." 

"We are facing a PSOE and a Mayor incapable of addressing a single one of the problems that Arrecife has: rental aid is not being paid to the six families evicted from Titerroy, the ARUS of Valterra and Titerroy are being left to die due to a lack of response capacity and inaction, and not a single euro of the money budgeted for the purchase of social housing is being spent," denounces Ástrid Pérez, who believes that "the socialist government has been failing for two and a half years." "Therefore, we trust that, on this occasion, they will be able to advance a solution for the residents of the 80 homes who have been asking the City Council for help for years," she concludes.
