The San Bartolomé City Council is carrying out conditioning and improvement works on several rural roads in the municipality. The main objective is to facilitate access to agricultural farms and improve mobility conditions for farmers and ranchers who use these routes daily.
The first phase of this action focuses on roads that showed a greater degree of deterioration, affected by both recent rains and continuous use. The work aims to restore safety, accessibility, and trafficability to these routes.
These works are financed by the Cabildo de Lanzarote, through subsidies for rural infrastructure. Interventions include road grading, the application of gravel and dust, and improvement of the running surface in specific sections.
The network of rural roads to benefit from this progressive action includes La Majorera, La Quinta, Montaña Blanca, La Calera, El Barranco, El Sobaco, Vega de Yágamo, Camino de San Bartolomé, Los Invernaderos, and Vega de Machín.
“"The maintenance of rural roads is fundamental to support our agricultural sector and facilitate access to the farms of many residents. These are routes that are used daily and serve an essential function for those who work in the countryside of our municipality."
The mayor, Isidro Pérez, highlighted the importance of these actions for the primary sector and the intention to maintain continuous planning to improve access to farms.
“"This action constitutes a first step within an improvement plan that will continue in the coming months. We will continue to address the needs identified and the demands made by farmers and ranchers to intervene on other roads in the municipality."
For his part, the Councilor for Agriculture, Alexis Hernández, detailed that the roads with the greatest need for farmers and ranchers have been prioritized, with the aim of carrying out maintenance that keeps the routes in optimal condition and facilitates the daily work of the primary sector.
Rural roads are essential for connecting agricultural and livestock farms with urban centers and communication routes, contributing to improving working conditions and the movement of agricultural vehicles and machinery.
The City Council thus reaffirms its commitment to the primary sector and the conservation of rural infrastructure, promoting measures to improve access to farms and the development of agricultural and livestock activities in the municipality.
