The socialist spokesperson, José Julián Mena, and councilor Frank Tolle, have urged the local government to implement an extraordinary and immediate operation for the cleaning, repair, and conservation of these public spaces. On-site inspections have revealed deficiencies extending beyond the well-known Golden Mile, affecting routes such as the Guadalajara, San Salvador, El Dorado, Mocán, Veracruz, Los Cardones, Cangrejo, Los Andes, Chinyero, Las Tosqueras, and Burgado promenades.
Documented issues include raised pavements, open or damaged manhole covers, rusty lampposts, street furniture covered in graffiti and stickers, and neglected garden areas with unpruned palm trees, broken hoses, and accumulated weeds. The socialists have expressed particular concern regarding the situation near the Tourist Office and the Los Cardones promenade, where foul odors and accumulated garbage have been noted.
“"We don't need another study to know what's happening. We need to walk these paths, one by one, identify the issues, determine which service or contract should resolve them, and act immediately."
Frank Tolle emphasized the importance of these routes, which connect hotel complexes, businesses, and residential areas, deeming their upkeep a priority for the local economy. The PSOE criticizes the response from the municipal government, led by mayor Fátima Lemes (PP, CC, VOX), which dismisses the damage as isolated incidents after three years in office. The opposition demands not only punctual cleanings but also infrastructure repairs and rigorous oversight of maintenance concession companies.
The Socialist Group insists that interventions must prioritize points posing a direct risk to pedestrian safety and public pathway accessibility.
