The mayors of La Gomera have agreed to promote various joint initiatives to optimize the management of essential services and strengthen inter-municipal coordination on the island.

Among the main agreements is the proposal to develop a comprehensive project for the remote management of drinking water supply. This initiative aims to improve existing networks and reservoirs, promoting more efficient water resource management and better control of supply infrastructure.
The need to reinforce coordination in urbanism and territorial planning was also addressed. The council members will propose a meeting to the Island Council (Cabildo Insular) to jointly advance the island's planning objectives.
Furthermore, the creation of a consortium (mancomunidad) was proposed as a tool for municipal cooperation to more efficiently manage essential basic services, fostering coordination and joint resource utilization.

"Municipalities share many needs and challenges that require coordinated responses. Cooperation between local administrations allows us to seek joint solutions, optimize resources, and advance projects that directly impact the quality of services received by citizens."

Emiliano Coello · Mayor of Vallehermoso
Emiliano Coello, mayor of Vallehermoso, highlighted the importance of these agreements, emphasizing the need to strengthen coordination spaces and establish common work lines in areas such as water, territorial planning, and basic service management. He valued the consortium proposal as a key tool for addressing services and issues that transcend individual municipal boundaries.
Finally, the municipal representatives agreed to cooperate with the Cabildo de La Gomera to address the issue of domestic animal shelter and management at the island level, seeking a coordinated response to this matter.
These agreements reflect the commitment of the Gomera municipalities to strengthen inter-municipal cooperation and jointly address issues requiring island-wide solutions, particularly in essential services, territorial planning, and animal welfare.
