The mayor of La Oliva, Isaí Blanco, highlighted the municipality's evolution in recent years, acknowledging that growth has brought opportunities but also increased pressure on essential services such as housing, water, cleaning, and security.
Key services have been reinforced, including security, with an increase in police staff from 31 to 48 officers, and cleaning, with the largest contract in the Consistory's history, mobilizing over 130 workers.
The Municipal Transformation Plan focuses on accessibility, infrastructure modernization, sustainability, and digitalization. This plan seeks a global vision for the municipality, moving beyond isolated solutions and advocating for an approach that enhances mobility, public spaces, and town accessibility.
The project also includes the renovation of approximately 400 homes and public spaces in areas like Corralejo and El Cotillo, extending to other towns such as La Oliva, Vallebrón, Tindaya, and La Caldereta, aiming for territorial coherence.
The mayor emphasized that success is no longer measured solely by population or economic activity growth, but by the territory's capacity to sustain that growth while maintaining quality of life. Issues like water, housing, mobility, healthcare, education, waste management, and landscape protection are crucial to this planning.
Blanco acknowledged that challenges remain, but stressed that years of service reinforcement and project implementation lay the groundwork for a more ambitious transformation. The goal is to complete ongoing initiatives and plan the municipality for the next twenty years.
