The PSOE of Teguise will present a proposal at the next municipal plenary session to resolve the regulatory block affecting the reform and expansion of the Nuestra Señora de los Volcanes Special Education Center in Tahíche.

The socialist initiative aims to provide coverage for the necessary works at the center, which serves students from all of Lanzarote. The socialists propose conducting a new technical-legal report to determine the property's urbanistic status and explore alternatives.
Suggested options include a specific amendment to the planning, the approval of a provisional ordinance, or, if legally feasible, declaring the project of insular interest. This proposal follows the withdrawal by the Government of Canarias from the tender process for the project's drafting, which had a budget of 219,898.43 euros.
According to the PSOE, the withdrawal resolution mentions a municipal report classifying the building as 'out of compliance,' limiting interventions to conservation and maintenance. However, the resolution itself did not consider documentation regarding expansions carried out after 1999, which, for the socialists, makes it essential to clarify the urbanistic situation before proceeding.
The socialist spokesperson in Teguise, Marcos Bergaz, emphasized that the goal is not only to resume the previous procedure but to study various avenues for executing the project. The withdrawal resolution allows for initiating a new bidding process once the current impediments are resolved.
The PSOE urges the involved administrations to collaborate in this direction and assures their support to reach an agreement. Bergaz has indicated that his party will closely monitor the project's development and present proposals to facilitate the resumption of the reform and expansion of the only special education center of its kind in Lanzarote.
