The residents of the Arrecife neighborhood of Titerroy denounce the "lack of commitment" of the Arrecife City Council to the maintenance of the neighborhood. "It has been a year since they pruned in the area, where rats also proliferate," citizens say.

"We can no longer stand the neglect that exists in the green areas of the neighborhood on the part of the Arrecife City Council." At the beginning of August, the responsible councilor Roberto Herbón, "promised the neighbors that, after the end of the San Ginés festivities, it was very necessary to act in the Titerroy neighborhood," the neighbors confess.

"These are large specimens, whose branches extend towards the houses," they denounce. "After months without being cut," the neighbors see how "the branches of the trees enter through the window," where all summer "we have not been able to open the windows because it was impossible due to the branches, and a plague of insects," they add.

"They told us that they were going to come to prune once the festivities were over, but until now no one from the City Council has shown up here." "They don't pay attention to us and this cannot continue like this, these trees need urgent action," emphasizes the neighborhood representative.

"They told us that they were going to come to prune once the festivities were over, but until now no one from the City Council has shown up here."

"They could also review some of the palm trees that are in the garden areas, many are completely rotten and it would be good to remove them," he adds. In addition, "there are many rats around," the neighbors denounce, to whom the rodents have come to "get into their houses." There is also "a plague of ants, due to the lack of fumigation of the trees."

These complaints have been maintained over time, "any day a misfortune is going to occur that we end up regretting because one of those branches breaks and breaks the power lines or falls on someone who is on the street," they warn.

In their requests to the Consistory they only emphasize the "need for it to comply with what is included in the Specifications, which is signed, and where no one from the city council has dedicated themselves to supervising whether the company carries out the work or not," concludes the representative.
