The community of El Agujero, in Gáldar, has expressed its dissatisfaction with the severe deterioration of various public gardens in the area. Residents state that the lack of maintenance by the Gáldar City Council has been ongoing for more than three years, leading to a visible neglect of these spaces intended for public enjoyment.

Among the most affected areas is the lateral section of the La Guancha Archaeological Site, where neglect is particularly evident. Approximately 15 palm trees have died without being replaced, and new plantings are dry due to insufficient care. The proliferation of weeds and a deficient irrigation system exacerbate the situation, negatively impacting both the aesthetics and local biodiversity.

Mr. Leacock Square, another emblematic garden, also faces total abandonment. Residents report the absence of plant replacement and inadequate weed clearing. The palm trees in the square are in an extreme state of neglect, with dry, unpruned leaves, compromising both the appearance and safety of the area.

Similarly, El Caletón Street, in front of the duplexes, has been the subject of constant complaints due to lack of maintenance, according to the complainants. Dirt and the presence of pests like cochineal and whitefly are severely affecting the trees in the area. This situation has begun to have negative repercussions, as the pests are not only deteriorating the trees but also directly impacting nearby homes, increasing residents' discomfort.

The residents of El Agujero demand an urgent action from the Gáldar City Council, including a periodic maintenance plan, immediate replacement of lost vegetation, eradication of pests, and improvement of the irrigation system. The community has voiced its displeasure over what they perceive as unequal treatment between neighborhoods and a clear lack of commitment to their well-being.
