The Plenary of the Yaiza City Council unanimously approved by the present groups (Partido Popular, Coalición Canaria, and Unión por Yaiza) the motion presented by the Popular Group to promote a specific municipal ordinance that regulates the parking of motorhomes, campers, and motorhomes in the municipality.
The initiative proposes establishing a clear framework that allows for differentiating between parking, overnight stays, and camping, setting the conditions for the use of public space, coexistence and environmental protection rules, as well as user obligations and municipal control mechanisms.
The spokesperson for the Partido Popular in Yaiza, Juan Monzón, considers that “Yaiza needs to face this reality with clear regulation adapted to the municipality's characteristics. It is not about prohibiting or hindering motorhomes, but about organizing an activity that already exists, offering legal certainty to users while guaranteeing coexistence, environmental protection, and the proper use of public space”.
Monzón points out that the growth of this type of tourism also represents an opportunity for the municipality, by generating activity in shops, restaurants, and other services, but considers it necessary to “establish clear rules so that this activity can be developed in an orderly manner and compatible with the daily lives of our neighbors”.
The motion also contemplates that the City Council will study, provided that it is technically, urbanistically, environmentally, and economically viable, the possibility of enabling specific spaces for the parking or provision of services for motorhomes and motorhomes.
“This is not an improvised initiative nor does it respond to a circumstantial issue. The Partido Popular has been proposing solutions for years to regulate motorhoming in Yaiza and now, within a strategy that we are promoting from the PP of Lanzarote, we are taking another step forward so that the municipality has clear regulation adapted to its reality,” Monzón emphasizes.
The popular spokesperson recalls that the PP had previously proposed in Yaiza the need to enable specific spaces and establish regulations for this type of vehicle. In this regard, he highlights that the initiative now approved “gives continuity to a line of work that the Partido Popular has been defending for years”.
Monzón finally values the unanimous support obtained in the Plenary and points out that "the agreement shows that there is a consensus on the need to address this issue". At the same time, he calls on the municipal government that "the agreement does not remain on paper and the drafting of the ordinance begins as soon as possible, with the participation of technical services, the Local Police and the groups involved".
The PP considers that specific regulation "will make it possible to improve coexistence, facilitate the work of municipal services, reinforce legal certainty and promote responsible use of public space, while allowing Yaiza to manage in an orderly manner a tourist modality that is increasingly widespread".
